In August, Australian authorities arrested 33 Indonesian fishermen, including Gidion, near Augustus Island. They were caught with sea cucumbers, shark fins, and other marine life. Gidion and his crew who had fished these waters for years, were shocked. The villagers were angry, seeing their way of life threatened by the arrest, while Australian officials warned that overfishing was damaging the ocean ecosystem. The tension between survival and conservation grew, putting the fishermen future in jeopardy.
