Jersey s involvement in a new UK-EU trade agreement marks a promising new era for the island s fishing fleet, according to a scrutiny panel.
The Environment, Housing and Infrastructure Panel has recommended Jersey remain part of the Trade and Cooperation Agreement (TCA), as it provides an opportunity to preserve and enhance its marine environment - as well as tackle ongoing issues about access to shared fishing waters.
