When the Fish Don't Come: Kalk Bay

Many fishing communities are feeling the effect of fish stocks depleting on the shoreline and on the continental shelf, both due to the rise in population as well as poaching. This video shows the perspectives of three local Kalk Bay fishermen, as well as two people in the fishing industry.
Every morning, Garth, Mike & Artjie get up at 4:00 am and launch their fishing boat out in Kalk Bay harbour. When the sun comes up and the rest of Cape Town go to work, they are already halfway through their day. Kalk Bay has become a tourist attraction, the streets lined with cafes and shops - but at its heart, it is a fishing town.

The guy saying why restrict our licenses when there aren't enough fish to catch anyway sums up the commercial mindset that lead this situation quite nicely.
