"Mi padre era pescador. Está e nuestas venas, en nuestra sangre", explica desde su barco Jan Olsen, portavoz de la Asociación de Pescadores de Thorupstrad, en Dinamarca. Si tripulación, de tres hombres, se enfrenta al mar cada día para traer pescado fresco al pueblo. Sin embargo, el mayor reto al que tienen que hacer frente estos pescadores es muy distinto.

"Los arrastreros están destruyendo el fondo. Nosotros usamos redes que se quedan en el fondo durante uno o dos días, y las volvemos a subir, no destruyen nada", explica Olsen.
