The UK Fisheries Project
The Prime Minister asked the Strategy Unit to study the medium to long-term
issues facing UK Fishing.
The report 'Net benefits: A Sustainable and Profitable Future for UK
Fishing', proposes a possible long-term strategy for improving the
fortunes of the UK fishing industry and the communities which depend upon
it.
It emphasises that the plan's success would depend on bringing the
industry and other stakeholders into a partnership with government over
management decisions.
