I was fishing around midnight and then this Korean trawler just came right behind me and rammed into my nets.

I went up the boat and they held me by the arm and threw me right inside the water.

They threw you into the sea?

Yeah, if I couldn't swim, I would have drowned.

So they threw me right into the sea, but if I couldn't swim, I would have drowned.

They come right into the inshore exclusively soon.

They just ram them, divide the boat into a middle, the middle, and the fish has got drowned.

Did you complain to anybody?

Did you talk to the police?

They do complain, but they are not adhered to.

Nobody listens?

Nobody listens.

Illegal fishing, it used to be a big problem.

At the moment, we've put in place measures, so it's reducing.

There's a vessel monitoring system that enables us to see all the vessels that are licensed to fish in our waters.

We used to have more than 10 infractions in a year.

And if we catch anybody engaging in illegal fishing, they will be brought to the law.

And you let them off.

now.

We don't let them off.
