Hooky Posted March 26, 2017 Report Share Posted March 26, 2017 It really wont make any real difference, how many "British" boats have sold the quotas and rights on to other countries ? they were sold on many years ago., the fish will still end up in a different continent no matter what flag or port they operate from ! The only real answer is the toughest call, total ban on ALL trawling for 10 years at least or its all over . lofty 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Fox Posted March 26, 2017 Report Share Posted March 26, 2017 I am but a simple man, but lets be honest here, I'd like to see: - 200 miles territorial waters back... - New Fisheries patrol boat building programme...to maintain a 24 hour service, 365 days per year... - Vessels to be equipped with capability of sinking illegally fishing vessels, when crew arrested... - More employment for ex-naval officers, support services, engineering, suppliers etc... - Revoke all old licenses, and start again with a clean slate... - Total ban on all nets within 6 miles of shore... - Careful monitoring and control of licensed fleets, with sales into UK ports only... - Strict management of stocks, with the UK controlling quotas based on science, not political influence... - Ban of discards, everything to be landed, above-quota catches to be sold with income going to the UK, not the fishing vessel... - Additional job creation opportunities associated with fish sales... - Sell catch overseas from controlled outlets only, to increase GDP... Oh and by the way, the angling will miraculously improve, and coastal towns and tackle-related industries will be rejuvenated. Phew!
