Episode 5 of Fishermen's Apprentice - one way to go?

Spot the difference between the UK and the US? 

In the penultimate episode of the Fishermen's Aprentice, Monty Hall takes his mentor, pot fisherman Nigel Legge across the big pond to the once thriving port of Gloucester. Apart from the difference in accent Nigel acknowledges that the fishermen of Cadgwith and Gloucester are all but identical. However, after the disastrous consequences of the failed cod stocks back in the 90s things are looking up for some small scale operations thanks to community fishing schemes (CFS).


The challenge is, could such schemes work here in Cornwall for some of the smaller boats fishing from their isolated coves? The mechanism for such an enterprise already exists in the UK - Community Interest Companies. Here's what Monty and Nigel heard from those involved and some of the customers of the CFS.
