Happy days for he Fishermen.....

now that all foreign trawlers are to be banned from British waters, no wonder they voted leave.

I think Gove has a hand in this as his father's Aberdeen fishing business was ruined by Brussels red tape, but no more.

Foreign boats took 10,000 tons out of British waters in 2015.

Not sure if that will make much difference.

Read the article Buc but it is just guesswork. At least now the future of our fish is in our hands and not the EU's who had that ridiculous rule of throwing dead fish over the side if they had reached their quota.

Gove definitely wants what's best for the common man and not his own interests.

Man of the people.

Aye Claw didn't agree with throwing dead fish over the side of the boat

Thing is though trawlers are well equipped to take loads of fish quided by up to date equipment.
Gone are the days of educated guesses .
Hence the reason that the fish are now struggling to reproduce in the numbers needed to sustain what's been fished.

The scientists are certainly backing the date 2048-2050 in numbers world wide I've read..

I'm veggie so won't be eating any fish 98% vegan heading to 100% more for the animal cruelty involved .
Was vegan for a few years but went back to veggie.

Whilst in a supermarket in France some years back the we fish on the counter were still struggling for breath.
Found that hard to take .

We need to listen to scientists not governments.

They'll fish the seas dry as they nearly did before for instant profit. They pre-dated Gove in his "fed up of experts" comment in the run-up to the vote, by denying conservation evidence for years and girning about quotas designed to let stocks re-generate.

Discards was, according to someone in the know, a red herring (ha!) as considerable volumes of quota-busting catches were being landed, in out of the way harbours.

In voting to leave the EU, and getting the result they carved nationally, they may be able to get out of the CFP and "tak back wir watters", but leaving the single market will mean tariffs being put on the sale of their catches to the very profitable French and Iberian markets. Nae thought through.

Happy days indeed.

They can just go back to catching as much as they want, selling it to factory ships and pocketing the cash.

Then landing just enough to keep them in business but not paying tax.

They can do this right up until the fish run out.

Then they can try and find a way to blame the EU retrospectively.

So they have banned foreign trawlers from fishing British waters. Who's going to stop them?

I would personally ban all trawlers.

I think Gove has a hand in this as his father's Aberdeen fishing business was ruined by Brussels red tape, but no more.

He said this during the referendum campaign and his dad then gave an interview that completely contradicted him.

Which doesn't prove much of anything beyond the fact Gove will say whatever happens to suit him at any given moment.
