Government issued warned over flagship post-Brexit fisheries law
"Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging. At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story."
"The Government has been warned that its flagship post-Brexit fisheries law is "failing" to deliver on promises of revitalised fish stocks and thriving coastal communities. MPs, environmentalists, and inshore fishermen argue the Fisheries Act, introduced after the UK left the EU's fisheries policy, continues to allow overfishing and inadequately distributes quotas to support local communities. This criticism follows the environmental charity Blue Marine Foundation losing a legal challenge. Courts ruled ministers hold wide discretion in allocating quotas, undermining efforts for stricter sustainable management."
A major news outlet emphasizes on-the-ground reporting across reproductive rights, climate change, and Big Tech, producing documentaries and avoiding paywalls while seeking donations to fund journalists. The outlet argues that donations sustain reporters who engage both sides of important stories and that quality journalism should remain accessible to all. The UK Government's post-Brexit 2020 Fisheries Act faces criticism from MPs, environmentalists, and inshore fishermen for permitting overfishing and poorly distributing quotas that fail to support local communities. A legal challenge by the Blue Marine Foundation failed as courts affirmed ministers' wide discretion over quota allocation, weakening stricter sustainable management efforts.
