I understand it will not be the same in Canada since the popularity and culture differ; however, I believe we can make more money in this industry.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, I believe the rise of interest in fishing could also save some who fishers work as professionals since there are good possibilities that new people joining the industry. It may not be a big problem now in Canada, but in an aging society with a low birth rate, it is often the case that people avoid those professions that belong to the primary industry. Additionally, it will be an excellent chance to let people know how the fishers are struggling and how the government is trying to solve it.<\/p>\n<p>At last, I understand this would be a controversial subject. We have problems such as overfishing and tons of plastic waste thrown away by recreational anglers, which is deeply related to my idea. Therefore, I would appreciate hearing some thoughts and ideas.<\/p>\n<p>References<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/hdmooers.com\/category\/blog\/<\/p>\n<p>Terashima, Y., Yamashita, Y. &amp; Asano, K.
