Bountiful waters off south Devon are also fished by EU boats, according to EU rules. Now British fleets are expecting change

Before dawn, the fish market in Brixham stirs into life as the shining silver catch from local fishing boats is unloaded, sorted, graded and auctioned off to food suppliers and restaurants.

How much of their export goes to the EU🇪🇺...?

A long time coming for the UK to set its own fishing quotas and also set acceptable quotas for our EU neighbours. Not. E dictated to and them have larger quotas than us.

Did I miss the bit about quotas being sold by GB fishermen to foreign companies? The only EU country to allow it. Do they blame those fishermen for doing that?

I supported this journal free monthly. Now I can t afford it anymore and you keep charging me . You don t answer the emails. The guardian acts like thieves, every month.

Doubt it they have been used as propaganda for Brexit

They can dream on. Where are they planning to sell their catch? Maybe it will be part of our new Ivory Coast trade deal 🤣

Hope they are ready for catch cetificates , export health certificates , presentation for inspection at BIP in France....oh and possibly tariffs now aswell.

It will tip the scales, but not in direction they want.

The fishing industry contributes less financially and employs less people than the sex toy industry yet we seem prepared to sacrifice billions for a few fish fingers.

And fuck EVERYTHING else up.

Fishings more of a hobby 👍

The scales are going to need a pretty big balance seen as 60% uk catch is sold to EU.

Whatever These Guys Want; Count Me There.

About time someone stood up for the Southwest

Will probably finish them off.

They can do one. Our country had been ripped apart for Fishing worth 0.01% of GDP. .BorisJohnson is going to cave on fishing because guess what we don’t even own the quotas and much of UK fishing water belongs to Scotland when she gains independence bye bye fishing ...

they've not been paying attention

It won’t.
