Inshore Fishing
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what steps he is taking to support the inshore fishing industry.
- Answer
-
We took the opportunities of Brexit to allocate a greater proportion of the additional quota received under the Trade and Cooperation Agreement to the inshore fleet. They now get double the quota share they did than before.
And, since opening in 2021, we have supported the inshore fleet from the Fisheries and Seafood Scheme which overall has invested £27 million in over 1,300 projects.
