Repairing the damaged nets. . . . now that's a skill !!

A better skill would not be using those nets that catch and kill everything that enters it! As gill nets do!

While I'm no fan of these nets, these guys aren't the ones doing the ecological damage. Most panga fishermen here aren't even working because there's so little demand. It's the "industrial" fishing vessels and fleets that keep the inland restaurants, markets and stores full of seafood. And it's the desire for fish such as grouper (mero) in Florida and the Gulf states, a fish that is one of the very few that eats the invasive lionfish taking over the Caribbean and that is a slow-growing fish. Frankly, I'm surprised there are any left.

The oceans are in crisis. All one has to do is follow what China is doing with their fishing fleets.
