09/09/24 - A UK Fishing Strategy, elm disease and a National Park charity
Manage episode 438889774 series 1301216
The UK fishing industry is renewing calls for the Government to develop a Fishing Strategy - the National Federation of Fishermen's Organisations says with strategies for energy and conservation impacting on fishing areas, a strategic approach is needed. There are just under 5,000 fishing vessels registered in the UK - ten years ago there were nearly 6 and a half thousand.
One of the largest surviving populations of elm trees in the UK is under threat - experts say its increasingly difficult to protect the trees on the East Sussex coast as the climate changes. Elm trees were once a familiar sight across the landscape in the UK, but in millions were lost to Dutch Elm disease in the 1970s.
And Dartmoor National Park has launched a charity to raise money. The Dartmoor Foundation will be run by an independent group of trustees and will be able to raise money from individuals and companies.
