Explaining the main changes, the implications and challenges for fishing and the wider seafood supply chain.

The Fisheries Act 2020 received Royal Assent in November 2020, and the Trade and Cooperation Agreement (TCA) came into force on 31 December 2020. Both pieces of legislation are significant and have changed the way we fish and how we trade and work with the EU. This meeting will explain the main changes, and the implications and challenges for fishing and the wider seafood supply chain.
