- Description
- Marc de Leuw reports on the latest in the tuna wars â a dispute between the UK and Spanish governments over fishing rights. The Alice Louise, a Cornish trawler fishing for tuna in the Bay of Biscay, has been cleared of using over-long nets by European inspectors but penalised by the Royal Navy leading to accusations the UK Government is backing the wrong side. Includes interviews with Jeremy Hosking, skipper of the Newlyn-based Alice Louise; Lieutenant Commander Andrew Edney, HMS Alderney; Angela Browning, fisheries minister; Mike Townsend, Cornish Fish Producers Association; Matthew Taylor, local MP.
