Brexit has sure been a great thing for the fishing industry..... (joke, it hasn’t really)
Oh…….
I was talking to a Cornish fisherman last week.
They are doing their fruits in down there.
I think they'd be all Ok with the regime in place, if it was policed by the UK authorities.
Foreign vessels are leaving their ports and then switching of their trackers, fishing illegally and heading back to port.
The infamous Dutch factory trawler Margiris has done that this weekend. Try finding it on the marine traffic website.
It's just come back on east of the Orkneys.
It's illegal to do that.
But they are also facing Romanian pirates, who are tracking boats and then stealing their catch by the use of force. I've heard of the piracy issues around the horn of Africa, but never thought we'd have it with fish off the Lizard.
