Fishermen say they constitute families at sea, acting as parents and even psychologists for each other. They are asking authorities to maintain the subsidies that support their livelihood. They also request that payments of those subsidies be processed more quickly. The government has introduced new limits on the catch of small blue fish, which the fishermen argue will affect their earnings. Their demands aim to create conditions where they can earn a living from fishing. They also want younger generations to see a viable future in the profession.
