Defra: Fisheries Minister Huw Irranca-Davies has unveiled an action plan designed as a first step to tackle problems facing England's inshore fishing fleet and help fishermen stay in business. Inshore fishermen will be able to bid for a share of £5m to scrap their boats and quit the industry in a bid to protect others' livelihoods and the future of the fleet.
 
England's 2,500 small-scale inshore fishermen have been under pressure because of tight quota restrictions (monthly catch limits for certain types of fish) and an imbalance between the size of the fleet and the quota available to it.
