Background on Bobby Martin
Mr.
Bobby Martin started fishing when he was 15 or16 with an
older man. After a few years he worked on the Gregory Poole
he moved up to mate then he was the caption for 21 years.
Know he is retired and does some commercial fishing with Mr.
Ron Sparks. They do soft crabs and hard crabs and they use
runaround nets, (that is different kinds of nets) to catch
many types of fish.
Challenges
There are challenges for all the issues. One of the
challenges for imported seafood is everyone is buying from
them and not from the fishermen so they lose money and
profit so they don’t have any way to support there family.
The other challenges are pollution and development. If
people keep throwing trash in the water and run off keeps
happing then all of the fish and wildlife will die. Also if
they keep trying to develop down east then all of the marsh
grass and animals will die because there habitat and food
supply will be destroyed.
Solutions
One of
the possible solutions to the imported seafood issue is for
them to raise there price to the same as the commercial
fishermen so they would both have the same chance to sell
the same seafood. Then that way no one would get more
customers because one price is more low then the other.
