Restore three mile UK fishing limit.
Want the three mile fishing limit around the UK coast restored so that the constant destruction of the sea bed by trawlers and scallop dredgers is stopped.
Why is this important?
The 3 mile limit was done away with by Margaret Thatcher. since then this indiscriminate fishing has decimated undersized stocks, wrecked the sea bed and coral reefs, and ruined the vital breeding grounds for many marine creatures. Fishing using pots and creels could continue as these cause little damage and undersized catch are returned.
