Move south so they can plant crops and find food was just tap. Floods and droughts will Climate Change become the main driver of mass migration you can write any apocalyptic scenarios you want and probably more think. The climate exodus starts if thirty years on t w. You know. Steve barrett is a british fish and his boat is small by industry standards under ten meters long barrett knows what he does not want in his life the european union. If we walk away we can take back control of our territorial waters if we dont walk away because we do a deal the e. U. Wont let us take back control. From our industry which they have to live by. The brits flint is one of germanys last deep sea fisherman. And his ship is fairly large forty metres long. Flynn says that he no longer understands the british. He could have become not only god is that they cant take away our fish the best thing for if we dont get a sensible an organized flick they wont be good for us Fisherman Frauds the thoughts of. Your cat that are where you where your. Majesty desiccate sent grew up on the north sea coast his grandfather was a fisherman and always had this talismanic on his boat. Effective at the top of a. I like to be out on the water i just cant resist
a thought that when i was younger i had another career in mind but that Didnt Work Out for the sea kept calling me back out here youre your own boss and its up to you to find the fish i think it has something to do with the thrill of the tricks with young people was the song. Flint knows this Business Inside out. This monitor shows him where the fish are clinton his crew sail the north sea between norway and scotland the fish move around the region depending on the season they dont pay any attention to international borders. But the question is will the north sea remain open to fishing thats by no means certain. Flinty sides when and where the crew will put out the nets if he finds a good spot they can take in as many as two tonnes of fish in just twenty minutes. But even while flint is on the job he often worries about the consequences that bracks it could have not only for him but also for british fisherman. If i speak to the net a bit after the Billy Fish Go i dont know how theyre going to manage their economy so that they can sell fish but of course they can keep it for themselves. I have no idea whats going to happen if they leave the e. U. In the. Us if they make a mess of the bricks that processed its going to cause a lot of problems with regard to your market i think. This is the Town Of Ramsgate on britains south east coast. Many of the local residents support brecks that. Steve barrett is headed for his small fishing boat the razor bill. He shares for. Flints passion for the sea and fishing but
thats about all they have in common. Beret works by himself he has no crew some days he has a good catch and others he Doesnt Barack blames the e. U. For this situation. Nearly three years ago he and some other fishermen sailed up the thames river to show their support for bracks it. Went ashore if if you. Were to have it. We went fishing we call faith we landed it. Its gradually got worse and worse as the years have gone on in the here is the culture fish as if thats more more restriction. Surely. Of what we think. The paperwork and the legislation. I want to say to be a fisherman. All Got Paperwork will go fairly well there are going im going to fish. A struggle of food with a cowriter of in. The water. Barrett doesnt come from a Fishing Family when he was younger he worked as a bank clerk but once when he was on a sailing trip the sea captured his imagination and hes been out here ever since. Its been his life for the last forty years and he makes a living by fishing barely. Today there arent many fish in his nets. Thats also bad news for the seagulls who are following him most british fisherman are like barratt they have small boats and stay close to the coast. And like his colleagues barrett believes that the e. U. s Fishing Policies are ridiculous i forgot to say lets try your quota for cause. I got to say
look at forged on the soles. Of us some tecate on some b. I. G. Feet i was so. And A Hundred Fifty kids i would call it or i have to put the clock back to have my closet. Door so i started say because i take a lot of help and its not enough. So i catch another i kick a guy was a soldier in the One Hundred Fifty trail out called up and called the good looking men company because i hope coal One Hundred Fifty level felt just enough to fight the wind. As Steve Barrett returns to ramsgate with Empty Nets Fritz Flint is sailing along the coast of norway. His trawler belongs to the German Company put a fish its the last german owns deep sea fishing fleet. Today the crew had been pulling their nets through the north sea for about three hours at a depth of One Hundred And Twenty metres and now its time to find out the size of his haul. With. Todays catch is made up mostly of cod and monkfish. Actually flint was hoping to find some pollock but theyre obviously somewhere else today. Because its got a solution as you know this is all crap. I found a site on the screen and it looked promising as it has the fish like to gather an old drilling boreholes but theres absolutely nothing there right now just a few miles away we thought we might have a good day. As this is just bad luck. Just took up for lessons. In. Todays catch wasnt. Disappointment. The crew doesnt seem to mind though. Theyll try again tomorrow. Night at the somewhat of a fun well just have to go farther out into you waters maybe toward scotland will try to find a good spot. To. Britains territorial waters are just One Hundred Sixty nautical miles away and flint knows that once they arrive there theyll have a good catch. But Steve Barrett cant cover that kind of distance and his small boat he stays within the twelve mile zone around ramsgate. Bird says that hes getting a lot of tough competition from foreign Fishing Trawlers and he doesnt think thats fair at all. They seem to have a very very unfair advantage where they come from quote from an area like
a fish off into a bigger part of. The argument you can fish out war for the out of the way for sure doesnt apply to me because its too far but in short the whole right i mean sure flaked. When it comes to brechts it barrett says the harder the better fishermen in denmark spain france and germany have been worried about how hard bracks it would affect them particularly if britain closed its territorial waters to them. If Splint Cant Fish off scotland anymore hell be in trouble. Just kind of got you by next year we could be spending eighty percent of our time over there with us and who is with us but if they shut it down it will be a raw deal for us. This is the german North Sea Port of play mahasen a city that has experienced. Firsthand the decline of the countrys Fishing Industrysince the one Nine Hundred Seventy s. Here at the institute a Government Research facility economist duelling has spent the past two years studying how brecks it might affect germanys fishing fleet. Is coming from extreme fire. In the worst Case Scenario britain would shut us out and wed have to find our quotas of fish elsewhere. Or dont use in their stockroom but british waters are where the fish are. There for her other locations just dont have the quantity and even if they did it would be a lot more expensive to fish there that could lead to a situation where german ships could lose one hundred percent of the catch for a particular species. And i wish them a pretty you know with. So bracks it could have devastating consequences forEuropean Fleets that fish off the british coast. Dealing explains why the North Sea Fishing grounds are so important. With this. Its one of our most productive maritime areas of. The north sea its rich in Fish Resources or because the rivers that feed into it provide a lot of nutrients and interest almost one hundred percent of some commercial species are caught here. Like herring for example a popular food in germany herring prefer to stay in british waters in late summer and autumn they tend to gather around Northern Scotland and the Shetland Islands but this area is inside the two hundred miles oh now the u. K. Wants to keep for itself after brags that. This is the town of sasson its on the german Baltic Island of google. Factories
here process Fifty Thousand tonnes of herring every year and eighty percent of the catch comes from the north sea. People who work at those factories are keeping a close eye on Fishing Industry negotiations between britain and the e. U. For those who say. The real problem now is that we might not have a decision on fishing access for Twenty Nineteen so we wont be able to catch herring in the british zone. Its Herring Fishing Season right now in the baltic the ships deliver their catch for processing but its not enough to meet Consumer Demand if the british zone in the north sea is closed to foreign ships the Processing Plants in just minutes and the crews that supply them will be hard hit. Theyre trying to figure out what theyll do if that happens. The herring however
will stay in british waters. Or you will just have to fish in the e. U. Zone in the north sea along with our partners who supply us with herring would be from. Dozens probably most are but the fact of the matter is that you can find dense concentrations of herring only near the british coast what about the. Supplies of fresh fish from the north sea arrive at the Processing Plants every day usually by truck via denmark. Two hundred fifty jobs at this facility depend on a regular supply of herring. The fish are gutted phil laid and pickled and then shipped to supermarkets. At this Point Everything here is going smoothly but the threat of a brecks of boycott has made the one. Workers here nervous. So efficient if i need
to visit course things are sort of uncertain right now. And some people are really worried. So much the money ive lived and worked on and were going for fourteen years. Ive got a house here. But i Dont Know Whats going to happen within the next few months. Inspire more nikitas also inverted. And its not just the workers at the Processing Plants who are worried people throughout the town of sas nets are concerned as well. The Fish Factories are a key element of the local economy and if the supply of herring runs low because of brecks it the downturn could affect the entire community. European Fishing Policies are hammered out here in brussels. We asked to talk to someone at the European Commission about the bracks it situation but they declined
our request for an interview. They said its a touchy subject right now. Experts are working on a wide variety of options and. The staff have been compiling reports and passing them around to members and. Since the commission wouldnt talk to us we decided to interview some european members of parliament and. Then our cool one is the Deputy Chairman of parliaments Committee On Fisheries Policy and. Some british any peas are here today and they include some bracks its supporters. On the labor party there are colleagues from the British Labor party are you the conservatives and you cant. Sometimes one group blames the others for the braggs at mass. The fisheries
committee and the e. U. Commission have been debating Emergency Response measures to bracks that. The discussions show clearly that the situation in the north sea fishery is enormously complex. For example the european fisheries and marine fund would have to be restructured and we consider Financial Support for the possible decommissioning of Fishing Vessels one for survive. But of course we want to negotiate a new trade deal with britain as quickly as possible. There are spanish and dutch crewmembers on Board BritishFishing Vessels highly skilled crew. And theyre an important part of the team. Some people get really emotional about that situation. And its getting a lot of attention. But the whole. Were now
in the scottish town of peterhead a Thriving Port on the north sea coast one third of all The Fish Imported by the u. K. Moves through peterhead. If the Fishing Industry is booming anywhere in britain its here. We met several Foreign Workers here and even came across a german citizen and they all earn their living by catching processing or transporting fish. Close tesh deliver supplies the fish every day from the port of peterhead to aberdeen about forty kilometers south he says that just the threat of bracks it has disrupted the local economy. And other prices in the shops keep going up and if britain lead to the e. U. Will be ruined that for your own if you earn just enough to pay my bills you know i cant put any money aside but i still earn the same. But things keep getting more
expensive but its getting an awful awful awful. Seventy six idealogues. The local Fish Industry may be booming but the workers are definitely not any better off one reason for that is the weak british pound which makes imports more expensive at the same time a weak pound makes u. K. Fish exports less expensive so demand from e. U. Countries is up. Seventy five percent of those exports go to the european union. Peterhead fish depot is one of the largest in europe the entire facility was recently expanded with some Financial Support from the e. U. More than Eight Thousand crates of locally caught fish arrive here every day. The fishermen and the processors want to keep this valuable resource for themselves. We continually have said that is a huge drop of to an opportunity for for the u. K. To be called. A sovereign state again and be in control of its what else the us is not about. European counterparts to fish this is about Rebuilding Control who and when they fish and. We have an Island Nation with a very fish which Fishing Grounds and therefore is a no or best interests as a United Kingdom that we monitor and control that store. So if britain leaves the e. U. It will be able to keep more of its fish because the europeans will be locked out of its waters a lot of people in peterhead say thats a good idea we dont have enough. In the course because out. In the decors its exhausted over a few months and you have to go and buy your fish rent fish. Boyfriends from other
e. U. Countries deficient i dont want us i think if you like that we should get on board to get another we should be and not think we should be in a different way with it. But thats very very a force for people to be ahead because he was doing believe john forty eight all of us to or want was dumping on the site for sure going to see why they should be. These figures show how the total catch is divided one third is caught by british fisherman. Vessels take about half of it these quotas are outlined in the European UnionsCommon Fisheries Policy. But if you look at the economic value of the fish that are caught britain takes in almost half of the proceeds european fishermen get only about forty percent want to come over here on The Border Kerger if they think they are serious
fish fish. Fish are profitable for the u. K. And especially for scotland still the Fishing Industry accounts for less than one percent of britains gross domestic product. But they also know how to make their voice heard in government thats why london has sent a top rex official to peterhead for talks of Seafood Consumption is your start ripping ok so we need it again when it becomes clear to me button is the founder and owner of the amity fish company. And before he moved into management but and spent decades at sea as a fisherman he says the industry wants more Investment Security and jobs. He also wants the government to encourage people to eat more
