Nobody has any personal issues with any of the fishermen employed in this fishery.
No person or entity is asking for these fishermen to lose their jobs.
All along it has been motivated that this incredibly damaging and unsustainable fishery be closed and at the same time the vessels and fishermen be integrated into other far larger, far less damaging, better researched and assessed fisheries with regards to their environmental damage.
This could easily happen and rather than DEFF sticking to its mandate of creating poorly researched fisheries to create new jobs, DEFF should rather look at the huge job losses to other fisheries and in eco-tourism, environmental damage and incredibly bad will that is being created all along the coastline by way of this one small fishery that is not generating anything other than environmental carnage.
