No more fish - empty net syndrome in Greece | DW Documentary
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 21 сен 2019
- The EU says 93% of Mediterranean fish stocks have been overfished, and blames big trawlers in particular. The fish are getting smaller, and some species have disappeared completely. What comes next, Greek fisher Evgenia asks.
Five kilos of fish at three euros a kilo makes 15 euros per day. How can you make a living from it? Evgenia Floris asks herself this question every day. For over 50 years, she and her husband have been fishing on the Greek island of Chios. Although there are fewer and fewer fish now, the Evgenia and Georgios still keep going, because the sea is their life. They used to catch around ten to 20 kilos of fish off Chios in the past, which brought them in a good income. Today it’s no longer enough to live on: sometimes they can’t even afford fuel for their boat. State controls in Greece are virtually non-existent. Evgenia is 69 and Georgios 78, and they both say they will fish as long as they can, but they know that a tradition is finally coming to an end.

As a commercial fisherman from Alaska, I sure hope they make some stricter laws to protect those beautiful waters from greed!
Tue fisheries collapsed there
Hwo about commercial Human traffiking? Do that bro! You can sell kidneys and liver for more price than fish!
@Citizenthirteen cringe low iq post
Yah only a few of us fishing in alaska ... and we make millions they should do the same😃😃😃😃
Gamescentrel 2 cringe low IQ you have
There are hardly 150 monk seals left in Greece, and total of 250 in whole Med sea... rarest seal in the world. So they can hardly blame the seal for lack of fish, but they do. And then they shoot the seals - but the fish doesnt “return”. Classic mindset. Easier to blame the first obvious thing, erradicate and think you solve the problem. While the real problem is - that sea was fished and over-fished for hundreds and thousands of years. Instead of allowing for protected areas to recover and re-populate - and in turn increase the surrounding fish stock - they would rather fish out the last, smallest and most juvenile fish they can find. Also - trawlers in Med sea is pure crime.
Those trawlers should be shot and 💀..no exaggeration.
It's evident the sea is fished out. The fish breeding grounds have been wiped out as well. Too many mouths to feed. Corporate greed. Poorly managed fisheries. It's the same problem worldwide to varying degrees.
@@sierradayhiker es, too many people. Nature is solving it; these Greeks will starve, but the chinese will live! It is now a scramble for the worlds last resources.!
Bullshit, I'm an offshore recreational fisherman in florida. Plenty of non commercially fished species that arent mass fed to people or are not economically viable to catch.
Also a major problem we have here is third world immigrants not following the regulation for catch size.
@@sierradayhiker they want whites to stop having children but the turd sworld can have millions and get away with it thats the hypocrisy of the climate change lobby scumbags
@@sierradayhiker the planet must stop having comunist babies. Normal babies are the future.
Laying net to catch the few fish the last guy had left behind, to deplete the supplier completely.... then complain about not having more fish. Wow.
@paul w that's for sure
To catch big fish you need to throw the small fish back
Amen
Big fish lay much more eggs. Too many people. period.
Um ... right !!
@@juhaszsc not really. Too many people who ABUSE fishing regulations, yeah definitely.
A wedding is an emergency enough to use dynamite? Illegal fishing goes on all the time. No wonder there are no fish.
yes it is I'm afraid..
Hahaha they make lots of money selling powdered corals in asiA😂😂😂😂 they even use them to create islands in the south China sea😂😂😂😂😂
its not people like these that are responsible for the lack of fish
@@kapoioskanenas2337 its always "not me but them" but all going to hell with collective effort
@UCiNBnfU1DYqW7P0KS1Npn9A brainless logic like yours the reason the isn't any fish .
Madness. Under size fish, continue like that, and there will be nothing.
what do you expect from someone's brain who lives in that condition? Don't pretend everyone is skilled.....
Also they obviously need the money
Makes me want to cry .
Used to catching fish with dynamite, because they "needed" the money (for daughter's wedding for example), now there is nothing left. ffs
😂😂😂 you couldn’t fucken make it up.
@BC Bob I've got an empty beer can full of stones. Let's see how this s-o-b skips.
they deserve to not have any fish left.. stupid people
They should have used thermo nuclear device ... after five years go back to the sea and they will see a lot of 5 year old fish and they are also glowing they are easy to catch by night 😂😂😂😂
my thoughts exactly - a wedding is not an excuse!
The sea is empty..
you need to stop fishing and let it multiply like we did in Newfoundland..
Greetings from Ireland Newfoundland,your right the sea is empty,I do shore sea fishing here in Ireland ,and we catch no fish now,it's gone very bad.we don't even bother fishing anymore.
@Noodles I think every country in the world has to stop and let stocks recover.
@@turluogh8764
Hello from afar..The cod fish and salmon are Huge here in our waters..My friend caught a Cod fish just a while ago and it weighted 40 Pounds..Today we are still not allowed to freely fish..we have a quota to follow..
but the sea is crowded with fish again..:)
@@Gypseygirls sadly not in our waters, Newfoundland more Irish than the Irish lol
@@turluogh8764
lol I know!! My Grandfather is from Ireland..apparently he snuck over from Ireland to Newfoundland on a boat..😂
In southern India (Tamilnadu) government ban fishing during their breeding season every year. This will allow fish to reproduce more. We need to give some breathing time for nature to give us what we need.
Lololol many of the big fish take a lot longer than that. Tokens
India has raped the fisheries around its coast
@@MrLoobu thats better than nothing
@@socrates1796 No, it is nothing, dressed up as something
Income of 800 Euro sounds like a reasonal income to me,.....think if they know anything about fish and Mackeral, they are seasonal, shoals arrive at a certain time of year...if you look at the nets she is using, not much chance for smaller fish to escape and become larger...and why doesn't Greece have protected fishing .....she isn't fishing for just her and her husband but to sell, so this is commercial fishing, not domestic. They are responsible for the lack of fish. Look at the number of fishing boats in the harbour, you can see the problem.
pretty much what I thought of in the first few minutes, they pretend their different while the reality is that they are not
Do you live where they do? If not you have no way of knowing what is affordable to them and what isn't. where I live you wouldn't even be able to rent a 1 bedroom apartment for that.
They don't have to rent a flat because they live in multigenerational houses.
Quand Même they are better off than most millennials in the west
Lord Wordsmith Typesalot If you subtract rent, then no matter how expensive groceries and fuel may be €800 is enough almost anywhere in the world
"we had no choice, we did illegal things too, we were desperate for money, we we desperate to pay for our daughters wedding"... That about sums it up...
They shouldn't have had any children if they have to commit crimes to exist.
@@Laurenavan masturbation goes cloud!
@@Laurenavan tell that to the africans and middle easterners
Yes, a fisherman that is a destroying his own lively hood then has the audacity to to think we need to feel sorry for them. Well I don't. Not only that, the dynamite probably destroyed reefs, grasses and grossly displaced the ocean floor, so they doomed their little fishing spot.
Don't have kids if you can't support them wacko

a poem you could like?
I just met ignorance.
Ignorance has friends, it is wastefulness, violence, hard-heartedness, mockery and arrogance, hatred. There were also others. They all looked ugly.
The lies and the perversions had laughing grimaces.
I asked how you got so much success.
Ignorance told me. I crept into their heart with selfishness and consumerism.
And that's why I'm so popular with people.
And I have made them stupid.
Then I asked what will come....
The ignorance grinned and said...
I am about to write a big bill to mankind.
Godlessness leads to chaos, then slavery comes, totally.
when they catch that little fish, of course there is no fish anymore.
Yeah in south China sea no one gets small fish😱
yeah, talk about chinese who's not even let microscopic fish go..and now they moved to african ocean to dry out all the fish!!
figure why there are no sea fish in china but only farmed carps（鲤鱼} for consume..! Don's make me laugh!
@@SAGAWISIW30 lol! I know right??! "SHOKING"!
Evgenia won't give up is definitely a remarkable documentary! I truly did appreciate it so much. Thanks a lot for sharing! Keep it up!
Sadly in Namibia clubbing seals & their babies is considered a 'solution'...blaming seals - instead of these HUGE greedy COMMERCIAL fleets...
I just can't with man's inhumanity. Fuck the world we live in. We'll all die in the end, and deservedly so.
This does not only apply to Namibia: Large trawlers from the EU member states, Russia, China and Japan have been depleting fishing resources along the coastline of the African continent for decades. Local politicians in the African countries have sold fishing rights and enriched themselves whilst the men and women who have been fishing the waters for centuries on a sustainable scale have been left without an income and / or food on the table. This is but one of the genocidal acts of the G20 nations! I rest my case.
@@stonew1927 i can see why god flood the earth the first time
The biggest problem isn’t even the commercial fleets although they are certainly a huge problem. The biggest problem is the universal corruption of politicians who allow the big commercial fleet operators to get away with the overfishing since they are allowing a sustainable resource to be destroyed.Then there is the issue of pollution which is on track to become so pervasive that fish cannot be eaten because of toxicity levels.
Denny Smith yes, always attacking the underdog instead of the Pimp prostituting our earth and sea.
Inspirational people. Real people. I hope they are doing well, love from Amsterdam!
Look.. It's always poignant when the fishers ask where the fish went.
It's always: There was so much fish. We caught such big catches. Hey! We used dynamite! Big catch! Where's the big catches now?
Same in my country. You hear how much fish there was. How they caught so much fish their nets might break. How they dragged up coral and all manner of things. Now there's not even coral down there. All mud. But they're still angry that the fish are not there anymore.
Makes me think fishers are not very smart.
Similar thing off New Jersey USA. Big trawlers sweep the sea and drag the bottom reducing fish stocks. Smaller infrequent catches in the last 25 years
Catching all these small fishes makes the problems worst and contributes to dwindling fish stocks .Sad
i used to snorkel all over the Greece and its ionian islands, in the latr 70,s and 80,s and almost never saw any fish up to 100ft of water,
Should put the small ones back, if they are a live, and feed the fish , plus re stock the fish if its possible, not just fish for fish or over fishing, soon the fish will be gone, and then what? TH
Krystian Sieminski The kind of fish they catch net does not have much demand and they are not endangered, they are good for fish soup that locals enjoy. The fish they caught using fishing line from the deep are economically valuable fish and they spend hours to catch a few fish this way. The trawlers are the real problem: not only that they harvest a lot of fish they also destroy hatcheries if the go out at the wrong time.
The need a Moratorium on fishing for 20 years. Foriegn Trawlers have to be monitored and removed from waters with force or it will continue.
Same is happing in the North Sea EU fish our waters But SOON THEY WILL HAVE NO WHERE TO FISH AFTER BREXIT GOOD LUCK
It's a pretty Greek statement really, " We caught more fish when we used to fish with dynamite".... And then to admit this to an interviewer, for an international documentary. Oh my word.
@12:37 A plastic bag with a seal. Shame humans.
Yağmur Bayrakdarlar to bad for the seal. Like humans all it will have to eat is plastic
If we fished for ourselves and not profit we would have fish. So many fish get thrown in the WASTE BIN AT TESCO its unreal!
That's how it is with all food. 40% of food grown and harvested ends up as waste. God take us now because we don't deserve this beautiful blue Earth
(On dynamite fishing) "We know we've done something illegal but have no choice, we were desperate for the money for our daughter's wedding".... well looks like you're still paying for it.
what is dynamite fishing>?
@@marlonscloud The Cypriots throw dynamite into the water and trawl the dead fish as they come up dead to the surface.
That part stood out to me too. Apparently having a more affordable wedding is an unacceptable option. . . to the point of engaging in illegal activities? yikes. That's one of many things she said that just seem so odd to me. Also, the part about not selling the boat if her husband dies, but rather just burning it in a large bon fire while dancing around it. wtf?? lol. I just don't understand her thinking.
Lol.
@@bulltraderpt meanwhile the whole of africa is at it and noone bats an eye
it happens in cyprus but on a lower scale than in shvthole countries
I'm living in chios my self . now if you have a small boat you can't go out far so yea there's gonna be hardly any 🐟... People need to understand you must go out farther to catch... And bills here are not paid monthly water bill is evey 4 months like 20 euro. Electric every 2 months an same for phone. So if you own your home an have 800 income monthly at there age there ok. I hate that they make things seem worst... I was born im USA an raised now came back to take care of some stuff. So yea I see what goes on.
I do remember another documentary about 10 years ago that addressed overfishing, unlicensed, off license fishing by Greece that warned about this. And now this....Greece brought this on itself and all the rest of us.
Wow, such an awesome video👏👏
Oh humanity, what have you done.
The individuals doing this aren't human, or could barely be considered as such under the most basic, barebones definition. I'm sure if we looked at a scan of their brain their prefrontal cortex would be so dark it'd look like they don't even have one.
You haven’t figured that out yet 😏
Hasten the pace in figuring that out before you combust 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
too many of us
Don't lose hope, humanity is both the richest CEO, the poorest worker, and the documentary producer.
There are just good people with skewed intentions (generally corrupted by power).
Ooo... I guess I feel like Yoda today.
brainlets
Italy imports fish starting from March or April every year now. People are scared of carbs and consume more animal products. :(
Greece is beautiful. Nice and peaceful. I hope i have the chance to visit one day. I love fishing and the ocean too. For me i cook or grill my fishes. Needs alot of patience to fish. Think fishing are for those who likes the sun.
It just the beginning what is really coming,
could the fish have migrated with the magnetic polls #gsm #poleshift #solarminimum
I agree
The more humans there are, the less of other animals.
No fish but they still fishing everyday.... they all should stop fishing for some time
or like... forever. don't fiddle with the with that fragile eco system at all if there is no need to. and fish is definitely not a necessity on our plates.
@@89gauna So what are they going to eat? Olives? What is the3 population growth of Greece? Are they getting northafricans too?
And somebody else take their place to try their luck. Have you forgot that they need to continue in order to support themselves financially?
@@xrogaan Well if they aren't catching anything then they will only worsen their financial situation by dumping money into fishing costs rather than not fish (obviously they must catch enough fish for it to be profitable)
@zan antel eat fish from overseas... we done it before where am from and it worked out for the better
Everyone is struggling, and keep fighting and do with the right way.
GO VEGETARIAN EVERYONE ... YOU WILL BE MUCH HAPPIER AND HEALTHIER AND HELP THE SEAS REGENERATE ...
when the guy says "there it is" the seal is like "wut u want" xD
Here is a ideal how about a moratorium on fishing until stocks rebound, or at least put some regulations in place.
6:46 (On dynamite fishing) "We have done something illegal but had no choice, we were really desperate for the money we needed money for our daughter's wedding"
"our daughter's wedding"... Yep, living in Greece I can assure you this is real.
@@BocaoZ right ! Unbelievable
I suggest that they start eating legumes instead.
Totally agree! Everyone should. Watch seaspiracy and you will never eat fish ever again
The kind of people who'd chop down the last tree on earth to build a fire.
T😂😂😂😂😂😂
That already happened in the bronze age; do you think the Islands were always rocky outcrops? no. they were all forested.
@@mkuc6951 these people might as well be from there then.
People like you chopped all of the trees down so that they couldn't build a fire with there own trees !
sad but we all have to keep going to live. we will eat the last bite of food because we are hungry. its our own fault we did not preserve.
I think there is no fish because they caught them all... hang on... they used dynamite lol. Hilarious. And they wonder why their is no fish left. They blew them up
Greece is really a backwater country. Even Turkey has laws for fishing seasons and they don't allow fishing for 5 months from April to September.
What a nice woman. Reminds me of my grandma always busy and trying to help even when the chips are down.
Hopefully she'll do the cafe full time when her daughter leaves. As nice as she is her fishing is just adding to the problems of the coast. She should give up the boat.
We are murdering this planet.
The water is so crystal clear and beautiful. An amazing deep blue.
This is one areas. Did you not listen other countries found solutions.
@@bricehenry1223 there is no solution, were at the point of no return. No matter how "protected" it is illegal fishing will strive with it
@@senpaiem paranoid fear mongering nonsense. No facts to show the other countries solution for this area is not working. Just your worthless piss ant nobody opinion. 🤣😂🤣
OMG that's so beautiful.. They live like kings!
they used dynamite to catch fish, and now they can not fish by net. The mother of nature gave their a lot, but they have not respect at all
This is Why people should not waste food of Any kind, take only What is needed
Yes even Jesus said; 'let nothing go to waste,' after generating food out of thin air.
Beautiful documentary. Thanks team DW. May God bless these fishermen with lot of health and Wealth. May mother nature take a good care of all of us and vice versa.
That big fish they caught probably escaped from the fish farm😂 It thought it got away
Also, fishing with nets should be illegal or have seasons for it and limits on how many fish you can catch.
Very good moving and touching docu!
Have been snorkelling all over the Med for 10 years and there have been shockingly few fish to see for the whole of that time.
Fantastic country that I always enjoy to visit! :)
Lady, no! No 🔥! Take the 50k. You'll be much happier. I promise you.
Fisherman over fish and there's no fish left.
Fisherman, suprised Pikachu face.
Dams on rivers that feed into the Med. are a major problem. Since the Aswan High Dam was built in the 60s, the amount of organic material and silt delivered to the sea has been seriously reduced and the fisheries began to decline just after. More organic material should be allowed to flow into the sea. Waste food and agricultural byproduct should be spread across the sea, fertilizing it. Establish hatcheries for wild fish.
I was on vacation in Greece and I noticed that is very little fish almost lifeless sea.. If i look adriatic sea we have more life in the sea, but for how long that's the question🙄
... so they complain that there's no fish due to overfishing, while they're depleting the stocks even further?
Is not some 500 small fisher all around greece that make them go extinct , but big fishing enterprises...
Excellent video! Thank you Eugenia and family and of coure Deutche welle. Maybe just like with the land we can not only harvest the richness of nature, but also need to cultivate beforehand. A good start is sanctuaries, that I know of, when respected, always help the fish stocks, small fiishermen and fisherwomen. Good luck.
Damn, I though only crocodile Dundee fished with dynamite.
Not only in Greece.. Unfortunately..
Easy fix. Sabotage the large ships, prices for fish will increase, less fishing needed, fish recover.
*better use for dynamite*
I LOVE DW DOCUMENTARY ...!
I love this woman !
Depressing on so many levels, I really didn't expect that
@24:16 The person speaking is standing in a trawler right? is that what we call a trawler?
How about we take responsibility as consumers and take the decision to stop eating any seafood in the breeding seasons?
Oooh Chios... "my island". I miss it a lot.
We've been killing our seas. Our forests. Ourselves. Such a shame, we could have had it all.
actualy the big ships they say take out all the fish are turkish..they illegaly fish all year around and nobody can do anything since they re not in the Eurozone
Actually if they are fishing illegally there is something that can be done. But of course if the country won't pay to have a coast guard to control fishing how will anything be done about it?
@@Jimmy4video The greek coast guard has its hands full with all the refuges coming by thousands due to the tense situation at the middle east. Refuges sink their own boats in desperation so that the coast guard will have to rescue them from the sea. Dozens die every day...The refuge flow is so massive, not only for a small country with economic trouble like Greece, but also for the whole European Union, that Turkey is using it as a pressure point to get a cut on the gas reservoirs inside Aegean Sea along with a cut of land in Syria when the war ends there.
Another great documentary from DW....I love the fact that you show poor working class people from Greece that has suffered financially so much....no one wants to see the out-of-touch bureaucratic elites from Brussels any more
suffered financially because they want a wedding for their daughter... oh god
They suffer because they've raped the environment around them, just like in several parts of the world. Eventually, all humans will start to suffer and it will be a glorious day in my eyes. War will break out for the little that's left and will leave millions dead.
This was very interesting, where I live in New Mexico, one of those 3 Euro fish would cost me 20 USD. Cost so much and terrible quality, nobody buys fish because of it.
Most likely when the DW journalists finished up the documentary and went off the island, the fisherman went after the seals to sort them out. Not to have them mess with the nets again.
Always looking for a big harvest, but never sowing seeds? How long would a farmer last with this kind of mentality?
Not only Greece but Turkey and all the North African countries that border the Mediterranean sea don't have proper control over the fishing. They all over fish the crap out of the sea and now their complaining. They do not enforce any fishing regulations if they have regulations at all.
Didn't know Joe Diaz was into fishing
DW always has amazing documentaries that find the most clever & graceful ways to expose the disgusting beings on this planet.
Dynamite twist suddenly
The ocean is empty because of the trollers....
Take, take , take , you can't run a fishery like that anymore .There has to be major changes world wide .
At least one ray of hope are Turkish tourists in Greece.
I thought this was impossible.
No hope with muslims
That woman has an Enormous Heart.
Same size of the ocean, where she loves the most to spend...
Greek Mythology is not all about Myth.
Greece does not appear to have seasons for certain fish stocks to replenish themselves. .
"Only when the last tree has been cut down, the last fish been caught, and the last stream poisoned, will we realize we cannot eat money."
Cree Indian Prophecy
nice video with raw truth, 2 pensioners having professional fishing boat, used to throw dynamite to catch fish when lots of fish in the sea, with nice house and family taverna, never gine up, love it!!!
Evgenia has a great personality.
Perhaps an investment in fish farm can help.
Free market in action.
I use to fish off the east & west coast's of Ireland. Commercial fleets put paid to that. Parts of the South African coastline are now like this too. For the last few years I have not bothered to go sea fishing. This problem is everywhere in the world.
You can tell how much she loves her husband. I'm doing a research project on overfishing in the Mediterranean and its heartbreaking to see the effects that it has on the environment and the people. I wish their family the best and I hope something can be done to help the Mediterranean get more fish.
Chios especially might ended up with no fish because of the island is so close to Turkey, which is full of nature disrespecting "people"
It's time to start farming oysters or some other sort of "sea farming". Learn from the Chinese: mix clay with sand and plant watermelons on all that unused land.
Of course he got caught. Dynamite makes noise. They should use high voltage current. Is working like magic.
You come to fish but another country already throws a bigger net in ur country
Fishless oceans, seas, and lakes one day?
Let's be honest, she isn't starving at all.
The couple should cash in their old boat!
When they take the boat out and return with 20 euro of fish, it is safe to call 10 euro expenses (fuel and engineering costs). It will take 15 or 20 years of using that boat to reach the EU retirement package of 50K euro. This is something you're only going to do if you love the job. Then again, if you do love the job, you may delay retirement until you got one foot in the grave, and leave the 50K to your kids, as most southern people do anyway. Apparently even a Bible verse encourages people to leave some inheritance behind to "pass on", as opposed to taking your retirement funds to Bora-Bora for one last spin.
there are no big fish because you are fishing the all the small fish before they can grow big.
I was hoping for 30 more years but i'm starting to get a bad feeling it could be 5-10 :(
