A fisheries industry perspective on the priorities for a new UK Government: pre-election roundtable
Friday 28th June
This live online event provided an opportunity to discuss the priorities that a new UK Government could consider, this time from a fisheries industry perspective.
Panellists were asked what they would like to see from a new government and whether this could drive positive change for ocean and coastal management. The UK general election takes place on 4th July and there will be a new Government in 2024, whatever the colour. Fresh priorities, radical ideas or more of the same? – whatever the election brings, the next term of government will be critical for marine management across the UK.
