A Synoptic Overview of Expert Opinion on Fisheries in a Post-Brexit World

<p>Fisheries is a topic in national and international forums in a post-Brexit world. Prima facie, the fishing industry is a niche area that has become high profile following the Brexit referendum. A number of fisheries-relevant issues that branch out from the Trade and Cooperation Agreement (TCA) of 2020 remain unresolved, especially discords over “quotas” and “access” that have taken those matters to shaky heights. For a better comprehension of the implications and challenges faced by coastal and fishing communities, this chapter captures and consolidates opinions of experts from academia and industry partners. The objective is to shed light on ideas and emerging findings, spear through some of the legal issues and highlight best practices that will altogether facilitate future constructive dialogues between stakeholders and policymakers.</p>
