UK Fisheries, the company that owns the last distant-water whitefish trawler in the UK, is urging for a change in the government's approach to the fishing sector. This comes as the UK's whitefish quotas have been reduced by over half since Brexit, despite the company's lobbying efforts. As the country is likely heading into an election year, UK Fisheries is hopeful for a government change that could potentially revive the distant-waters fishing industry in the northeast of England.
