Fast Pat Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 John52 - 2020-01-14 8:21 AM Brexiteer Skippers who sold their quotas to EU boats for mega money seem to be under the illusion they can get their quotas back for now't, and carry on with free trade to export their catch tariff free *-) Indeed, "More than a quarter of the United Kingdom’s fishing quota is in the hands of a tiny group of the country’s wealthiest families, an Unearthed investigation has found. Just five families on the Sunday Times Rich List hold or control 29% of the UK’s fishing quota. The finding comes from a new Unearthed investigation that traced the owners of more than 95% of UK quota holdings – including, for the first time, those of Scotland, the UK’s biggest fishing nation. It reveals that more than two-thirds of the UK’s fishing quota is controlled by just 25 businesses – and more than half of those are linked to one of the biggest criminal overfishing scams ever to reach the British courts. Meanwhile, in England nearly 80% of fishing quota is held by foreign owners or domestic Rich List families, and more than half of Northern Ireland’s quota is hoarded onto a single trawler." https://unearthed.greenpeace.org/2018/10/11/fishing-quota-uk-defra-michael-gove/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Single boat owners don't expect these powerful agents to help them if they are not buying their services. But there are allegations of deliberate sabotage. >:-) This can only get worse without he protection of the EU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
