The sea was more than a profession. It was a blue house that opened it with dawn, and closed it with the dirt, and when the ways were narrowed in the years of chaos, he saw strange boats sliding in the ports, and devoured from his livelihood what he was able, entered wild fishing methods, and the subconscious rampant, and the market was confused between cheating in the supply, and it was in quality His water is draining, and his days are counted in the hope that a day will come to the sea to his family, not for the pockets of transients.
Today, and the decision enters into force, the hunter feels that the state heard his pain, a Bahraini presence on the back of the fishing ship, not a bureaucratic procedure; It is a declaration of identity and responsibility, when Al Noukhada is Bahraini, rises to the safety standard, preserves the ethics of the profession, and the environment is preserved from the absurdity of methods that do not fill in the future of inventory, this law closes the leasing and sharing sharing of interests, and re -arranging the chain from the sea to the market: controlling licenses, identifying teams, and obligating highlighting and compliance. The expected result is not symbolic, but perceived in the morning baskets: safe fish, fair prices, and confidence belonging to the consumer.
Economically, the decision is reflected in the trade, import and investment cycle, organizing the profession creates incentives to finance the update of boats and equipment, and attracts the local investor to cooling, packaging and maritime marketing chains, and reduces the import bill when the stock regains its health, and with the speed of implementing the decision by a direct leadership decision, without waiting for a new legislative cycle, it sends a firm message that marine food security is a national priority It is postponed, and that effective governance is possible when the will corresponds to the public interest.
But fairness is not complete without responsibility. Will the Bahraini Al -Nakhuda use the foreigner? Perhaps, as the need remains for the auxiliary hands, but within a clear organizational ceiling that does not empty the law from its soul, the real bet that the temporary use turns into a practical school to localize the skill: certified training programs, validity certificates, marine safety units, and cooperatives that share young people, and give them decent professional paths, so only the old episode does not repeat.
Environmentally, the obligation will be drunk and raised the awareness of the marine meal, so the reefs will recover and the seasons of reproduction will be stabilized, and the sea will restore its ability to give, socially, due to families associated with the sea generation after generation, so he grows in the hearts of children the meaning of inheritance and the meaning of the homeland, and politically, the law establishes confidence between the citizen and its institutions, when he sees the impact of the decision on his daily livelihood.
It is a day when the hunter moves from the spectator’s category to the command of the command on his vehicle, and the Bahraini regains his right to his sea and his responsibility for it, and if the application is improved and censorship, the training and financing system is completed, this will not be a passing step, but the beginning of a era in which salt returns to its taste, and the sea to its people.
