Some very handy graphs and photos to keep in this @BBCRealityCheck article.
What does that 200 mile fishing limit look like?
How much of our fish caught in our waters goes to the EU?
Catch size in the top 20 ports. Peterhead and Lerwick the largest.
18k people employed in the PROCESSING industry so about 4 times that of on the boats, and processing would be hit hard by red tape incurred by being outwith the SM & CU ...and tariffs.
“fishing is only a tiny fraction of the overall economy both in the UK (less than 0.1%) & in the rest of the EU (some landlocked countries have no fishing fleets at all).
According to the ONS, fishing was worth £784m to the UK economy in 2018 v, the financial services:- £132bn.
