Know what hurts fishermen more than quotas and limits? No fish.

Things like this are the reason people who care about the environment didn't want to see the Environment and Agriculture Ministries merged. If they had been, the agriculture minister wouldn't even need to ask, the ministry could have just gone ahead and changed things with no opposition.

REF: Environment and Agriculture Ministries merged

I think that this merger really is a GREAT idea! If they destroy the environment, there may not be any rain-forest which means that there may not be any rain and as a consequence, there may not be any agriculture!

When THAT happens; they can't point a finger to some OTHER ministry or any other group, association, etc!

But that too is NO Big Deal! Brazil, of course, CAN import food-products from their friends [the US of A?]

REF: “Know what hurts fishermen more than quotas+limits? No fish”:

The fishermen can be the Farmers if there are no fish!
