Paul D Posted July 16, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2004 North Sea Fishing Reserves Parts of North Sea will close to save fish Proposals for experimental closed areas in the North Sea to protect endangered fish stocks and wildlife will be announced in a few months, Ben Bradshaw, the fisheries minister, said yesterday. Mr Bradshaw was responding to a proposal by the environmental group Greenpeace that 40 per cent of the North Sea should be made off-limits to fishing, dredging or oil and gas exploration. Greenpeace's proposals have alarmed fishermen, who say that they would just lead to an increase in fishing pressure in the other 60 per cent of the sea, but they have a basis - though not a precedent for their size - in some of the international obligations that Britain has signed. Mr Bradshaw agreed with Greenpeace's claims that management of fisheries by the European Union had failed to protect fish stocks or the marine environment. But he said that this would be dealt with by fish recovery plans agreed as part of the reforms of the Common Fisheries Policy in 2002.
