Common Fisheries Policy Changes
As I understand it there is an up coming review of a law which happens on a 10 yearly cycle. This is our chance to support a Common Fisheries Policy and support sensible sustainable commercial fishing, which as I believe should benefit our sports fisheries around the UK shore line. We need to stop the death of millions of fish that go to needless waste (bycatch) and give our seas a chance.
Please watch the video below to better understand the situation and the impact the current system is having on hundreds of small scale inshore fishing boats around our shores.

77% of UK fishemen are on small boats - 4% quota allowed. That stinks!
I agree, it is a disgrace… We really must get a tide of support and get things changed for the future. These guys manage and conserve the stock and they cherish the sea bed. Other large scale boats rape the sea bed of all it has to offer.
