Wasn’t that mostly a UK thing? I don’t think I have heard fishing rights mentioned since Brexit.


NL fishing fleet has been modernized twice over. First cleaner engines, then electric pulse fishing (not nearly as bad as dragnet fishing).

French fishers don’t want to make the investments into their fleet, so they harassed French politicians until those spiked the pulse fishing research permits. This had the by-effect of (nearly) bankrupting the Dutch fishing fleet.

So no, fishing industry fights are not just an UK thing.
