                    [Summary] => Any day along any coast in these islands is like New Year’s. Boat gangs blast tubs of fish from shallow waters, unmindful of picnickers or patrols onshore. Some even dive to the corals to squirt cyanide for extra catch. Farther off but still within municipal waters, commercial vessels haul in heavier fills using Danish seines. Tied to floats on the upper edge and sinkers on the lower, the long fine nets snare everything in path and scrape the seabed for bottom feeders. Crewmen pick out only the big catch and throw back smaller but mutilated ones.
