With the local fishing industry in decline, many fisherman want to participate in deep-sea fishing. They have trained for the necessary qualifications, but lack financial support from the government. As a result, fisherman can only make a basic living by running leisure fishing business.香港的漁業盛極而衰。有漁民探索行業的出路，參加遠洋漁業培訓班，學習這種技術。政府顧問研究的報告認為，香港發展遠洋漁業在財政和技術上都是可行的。他們躍躍欲試，無奈缺乏資金。政府提供低息的貸款額，只是杯水車薪；漁民擔心香港會錯失發展遠洋漁業的機會。漁業經營環境欠佳，他們逆境求生，發展旅遊性質的休閒漁業來維持生活。
