My land is bleak now we have been banned from the sea. The once great trawlers so courageous and brave now lay in a barren dockyard left to decay. This decay is apparent far and wide as the structure of my town witters inside.
Like a once intrepid fisherman who is now washed up and drunk. This town now struggle stand as it staggers into the night. The import of fish was what made this town grand now it only trades in drugs and violence as poverty and unemployment rear their ugly face.
The seas are bleak if you live on the land. Poverty is rife and the dole is as high as the fish bans have affected my land. The Icelandic trawlers have extended their boundaries forcing the once great Grimsby trawlers to an early retirement. Left to decay in a once booming dockland. This once great town has been left baron and bare due to the laws in Europe which affect the littlest thing.
The once brave and courageous fishermen in which travel the great seas are bound to the social. The ban on fish mean we now deal in cars with the once great docklands being flattened for car parks. With only the privileged drivers now skippering the docks, with its true inhabitants banished its surrounding council estates.

INDUSTRY

Import/ Export of materials i.e. Recycling
I find the process of re-inventing/re-using something fascinating. The re-birth of a product that formerly served another purpose goes through a huge transformation. And might even take this transformation over a long time period. Including how many people are involved in this process, the techniques, where the transformation takes place. If this transformation takes place in one destination and then moves to the next. And what is the re-invention? Has this product gone from something with no importance. To a material or product which people/ consumers highly value? Does this transformation take place locally or is this ‘exported’ also? How economical is this process (recycling)? Is it worth all the trouble to reinvent something, rather than letting it be? Why doesn’t a new product take its form from a new material? In an organic form rather than from a pre born substance? Dows this new product still have the integral properties it would have. If it wasn’t produced from a recyclable source. For example, the recycling of paper. As recycled paper does not appear or feel the same as standardized, mass produced paper.
