The inspectors came down to the docks yesterday with new permits nobody asked for. They want us to report every kilo, every day, like we are running a supermarket instead of working the water. Three boats in our cooperative cannot afford the software they want us to buy — software made by a company in Santiago that has never seen salt spray. The industrial trawlers have accountants for this. We have me and Miguel and a notebook that has been wet for thirty years. They say it is for sustainability, for the fish, but the fish are already gone — what they want is to make it official, to have the numbers that prove we took nothing because there is nothing left to take. Meanwhile the salmon farms upstream poison everything and nobody needs a permit to do that.
