Due to the high levels of radiation found in Squid caught by fishermen in Ibaraki-shi (near Fukushima) a decision has been made not to fish - fairly obviously this is because they can not sell the produce has it is detrimental to public health.
More curiuosly, the local government decided to hire of the fishermen out of work as local government officials for one year. I have no idea what they will do, neither do they.
Compensation is one thing, but taking these men out of the workforce for one year to twiddle their thumbs is not a solution - although in the short term more boots on the ground for reconstruction may not be a bad thing.
