Under 10m reality of discards ban or "Landing Obligation" as it is rather perniciously known.

Spotted on Twitter:

"OUTRAGEOUS: U10m fishermen mate of mine caught 20 boxes today. Landed 3. No #blondes, no #spurdog, no #bass. £2k in live discards. #criminal

As if the meagre amount of fish caught by the Under 10m sector would begin to even dent the stocks of any species subject to quota regulation! 

Follow-up comment just about says it all:

"Further to my last tweet. Poor guy hasn't been to sea for 2 weeks, now utterly demoralised. 😔 @SkipperEditor @NFFO_UK @LIFEplatformEU
