How can the catch be inspected when its 2000 tons of frozen
solid solid fish?? Or even allready packed into tins?

stocks can recover quite quickly if given a rest,nwhich seems to be
the case?
But l did notice that Donkeywoman bought some cod the other day
that looked more like a small plaice than a cod, which is normally
a quite large fish? So it looks as if they are taking undersized
fish on board, which is not good for sustainability!

PS. All the harbours have become marinas like Folkestone Brucy!

Re: Super Trawler invasion!
Some interesting information and views on the link below for those who, like myself, know very little about the fishing industry. Other than of course that our fishing fleets seem to be very much smaller now, by about 30%, with those fishermen who are still fishing saying that sometimes they cannot afford to go to sea to even chance a good catch. They do so as they need to have income to pay for boats and other necessities. From the information on this link it would appear that we export to the EU while importing for our own needs, that seems a strange way for any industry to be run:https://www.sustainweb.org/news/feb19_fish_QandA/

but so far theres a couple of things l have picked up! In one part
of the article they state that the fish stocks are not sustainable at
the moment, but they LAUD the EU regulations that have created
this unsustainability? I am still looking through the entire aticle to
further my understanding of it!
The only other opinion l have come to is that the whole set up is
extremely complicated and badly needs simplification?
I believe that is what Boris is aiming at!

The historic claims they cite are suspect, how can places like

You mean those rules that are centuries old? British are notorious for not being able to handle change. So good luck with that.
