More about this scene
Already an endangered occupation in 1965, fishing is now in terminal decline along the whole of the north-west coastline. There has been concern for the cockle fishing in the Dee Estuary for some time, and plans are being made to severely regulate the industry. The proposed reduction in permit holders will, it is said, not only make the fishery more sustainable, but will also dramatically improve safety and reduce damage caused to the estuary.
