flag UK fish stocks, including North Sea cod, face collapse from overfishing, despite science-based recovery warnings.

flag Conservationists warn that key UK fish stocks, including North Sea cod and Southern North Sea edible crab, are at risk of collapse due to overfishing, with only 41% of 105 assessed commercial fish stocks considered healthy. flag Despite scientific recommendations for zero catch of North Sea cod to allow recovery, fishing continues at unsustainable levels. flag Oceana UK’s report finds 27% overfished and 25% overexploited, prompting calls for science-based quotas, a time-bound recovery strategy, and an end to destructive practices. flag Industry leaders and the government agree on the need for sustainable fisheries, with Defra citing a £360 million fund for coastal growth and fisheries support.
