UK moves to break fishery pact - Fishing ban an opening salvo

AND so it begins. 

Brexit Britain has started to “take back control” and one of the first expressions of that retrenchment is the announcement that only British trawlers will be allowed fish inside the UK’s 12-nautical mile zone, excluding Irish trawlers from waters they have fished generation after generation.

Currently, the Irish fleet has access to parts of the UK six to 12-mile zone, as has the UK fleet to parts of the Irish zone.
