Re: UK Exit of EU (Brexit)
Quote:

Brexit would have several potential benefits for Britain's fishermen. It would restore the UK government's control over this important industry, allowing it to pursue a more environmentally-prudent policy and the regeneration of jobs for our fishermen. Under International Law the UK owns its own waters ensuring the British government would have a strong hand in further negotiations with the EU following Brexit. There would be a wide range of different options available to the UK, ranging from limiting the amount of time fishermen are allowed out at sea, to more radical solutions such as a ban on commercial fishing whilst compensating existing fishermen. It is clear the EU itself is highly resistant to change, and by the time it implements or adopts necessary reform it would clearly be too late for our own fishing industry. Norway, Iceland and Greenland all have highly successful fishing industries and they are all outside the EU. It is clear a Remain vote will destroy what is left of Britain's fishermen and our fish stocks; whilst a vote to Leave could lead to radical change which could help them both gradually recover.
