Ferry from Central to Cheng Chau

After a delay of 15 minutes, our ferry ran through the trawler ship barricade. They were protesting at the removal of their fishing licenses by the HK government. While I can understand their dilemma, it is their livelihood that is being taken away from them, this form of fishing plays havoc with the ocean ecosystem in the non-selective manner they destroy and capture. The question should not be whether this form of fishing should be allowed to continue, but how the government will assist these fishing-families in finding an alternative way to sustain themselves.
