On Your Farm - Fishing no trawling zones

In this week's On Your Farm, Caz Graham goes fishing off the Devon coast to find out what impact a no trawling zone is having on local fishermen. In 2008, The Government closed off a 60 square mile area at Lyme Bay in a bid to protect the reef and marine life. Now, it's being proposed that this area be extended to 90 square miles. It's part of a European Directive to preserve seabed features such as reefs, underwater sea caves and sand banks across the UK. The fishing industry claims it will take away 80 percent of the areas they trawl at the moment and severely damage their business. This programme is presented by Caz Graham and produced by Anna Varle.
