"Proposed reform of common fisheries policy will not ensure sustainability nor lead to urgently needed economic reform. The lack of a bold revolution, necessary for schismatic reversal of fishing policy, confirms the EU is incapable of providing a fit-for-purpose solution to overfishing. A study by the New Economics Foundation shows many fish stocks could be rebuilt within five years through real time bans. Restored stocks would generate GBP 14.62 billion annual revenue, treble the value of fish landed at sustainable levels today. The only way to effectively manage dramatic policy change is to renationalise fishing rights. There are 500 registered boats in Welsh waters, yet 90% of catch is not landed in Wales. A large proportion of the offshore fleet is made up of vessels registered in Wales but owned by Spanish companies and some Dutch operators, who contribute nothing to the local economy. Most landings by the local fleet are also consigned to ports outside the region. While 75% of the Welsh coastline has protected status, Wales cannot promote sustainability nor would gain in doing so. Only renationalising waters would incentivise the stewardship of seas by guaranteeing future sustainable, profitable local maritime industries and fair international trade."@en1
