“DEFRA announced yesterday that the fishing industry in England will receive a £10-million bailout after its markets in the UK and Europe collapsed due to the coronavirus pandemic.
The grants are to assist with the fixed business costs for up to three months for owners of under-24 metre vessels with English fishing licences who last year recorded sales of at least £10,000.
One of the marina fishermen said that’s nearly all the marina boats and there are a lot in the country, but it’s good that there problems are being addressed by the government.”
