Unfortunately it is the same government in charge now who originally gave our fishing rights away in the first place nothing changes .

But I can tell you this it ain't the Spanish ,French , or any other other fishing fleet in the Eu that is destroying our cod stocks off the Yorkshire coast its scallop Dredgeing by our own boats they have done more damage to the grounds where the cod live and breed it's catastrophic what's they have done here the grounds have been ripped apart and they are still doing it as we speak .

We warned IFCA what was happening here but it fell on deaf ears now the repercussions are showing its hand it's a disaster whats actually happened here .

Well said Paul I'm glad the subjects been brought up. I assumed it was our lot a bit south of you that has had its fishing well and truly shafted by the boats working out of Scarborough. If Scarborough still had a fleet of conventional trawlers they would never have let this lot in. Some of our most prolific wrecks have been smashed to pieces by these lot and a couple of favourite wooden ones have gone all together and the ground surrounding them ruined.
Some of the boats had many baskets of steam coal on their decks when I walked round the harbour last summer indicating how close they are towing their gear as they try to get every last scallop. I was on a large wreck as one of these boats approached me last summer he was blowing his horn and shouting me to get out of his way but I knew he would not come over the wreck and risk damaging his gear. He veered off the very last moment.
I fear the damage has been done. Look what happened in Luce Bay in the 80s. Its never recovered.
They have just about cleaned up now and are working further south the potters are worried very worried.

 

Howard I have my head in my hands mate when I steam off now what has been allowed to happen off the Yorkshire coast is shocking fantastic ground which used to hold vast amounts of fish now in tatters somebody should be held to account It should not have been allowed to happen .

 

Anyone who thinks beam trawling for scallops is environmentally sustainable needs to give their heads a shake, it wrecks ground in much the same way big ground hopping gear did to the inshore grounds some 30 odd years ago, flat rock where big ground ledges used to be, barren ground now

The local IFCA really should hang their heads in shame as they've allowed the scallopers to come here and ruin the fishery as a whole when they have the evidence from other areas that show how much devastation scalloping does

 

Brian st some stage it will hit national news that's how serious it is here the long term affects are frightening fish ,lobsters ,crabs the damage done its catastrophic it's the long term implications which is very worrying.
