Chinese boats plunder the Brazilian Amazon, and the Lula government knows but does nothing
The complaint to Infobae by Carlos Augusto Gouvêa, the mayor of the island of Marajó, located in the northern state of Pará, the second largest in the Brazilian Amazon
"Chinese fishing boats use a specific technique to drag more fish from the ocean. Normally, they shouldn't do it near the coast, but the Chinese do," he told Carlos Augusto Gouvêa, mayor of Marajó. With this massive trawling technique with nets, China manages to catch the best fish and forces small Brazilian boats to come and negotiate to illegally obtain some of these specimens to meet local demand and resell them to the market.
