Is it legal? - UK quota system for under 10m boats challenged.


Is it legal?

That is the question that many in the under 10m sector will be asking in the wake of a recent report. Tom Appleby, University Law lecturer at the West of England University is convinced that the present quota system is weighted heavily in favour of PO managed boats, largely made up of >10m vessels - with a mere 10% of the national quota left to be divied up amongst the <10m fleet who, in reality, represent around 75% of UK fishermen!
