speaker: i'm totally against the plan. i think it will be a disaster for the local area. for one thing, it will be terrible for fishing in the area. the oil refinery will pollute the sea and we won't be able to fish. it's difficult now, but this will be the end of the fishing industry. it would be much better if we put more money into the fishing industry. for example, we need money to build new fishing boats.
