00:04I'm going to kill you!
00:31In 10 years, we're going to wonder what we're going to eat.
00:34If they come fishing and they get scared,
00:37while we no longer have the right to touch our fish,
00:40what are we going to become later?
01:01The people are sovereign.
01:03We must ask for the people's opinion
01:06before implementing any project.
01:09That is also democracy.
01:26There are 90,000 tanks that we can fish at home,
01:29so why stop us from fishing 3,000 tons?
01:33These guys are not very normal.
01:46The fish that will be caught is not intended for the local market,
01:49it is intended for the international, Asian and American market.
01:52They target the bigeye,
01:54which is a kind of tuna that is inscribed as vulnerable in the ICN,
01:57that is to say that it is highly endangered.
01:59It would be unfortunate for us Polynesians,
02:01the people of the sea,
02:03to participate in the destruction of the tuna population around the world.
