Plan for fishing future launched

An action plan aimed at securing the long-term future of Scotland’s fishing industry has been launched by the Scottish Executive.
The stock management plan has been developed by the industry.

Fisheries Minister Ross Finnie believes it shows there is a lot to look forward to after years of pessimism.

The Scottish white fish fleet has been cut by two thirds in the last five years and thousands of jobs have been lost due to EU conservation measures.
