Concern Over Lack of Compensation Scheme for Yorkshire Coast Fishing Industry

There are calls for more support for the Yorkshire Coast fishing industry following the mass die off of crabs and lobsters over the last 18 months.

Local catches of crustaceans remain well below levels seen before the mass mortality event.

Scarborough Councillor John Ritchie questions why there isn't an automatic compensation scheme

Scarborough and Whitby's MP says he will help to lobby the government to provide more help for the local fishing industry affected by the mass shell fish die off.

Sir Robert Goodwill says the impact of the mas mortality event are going to be felt for some time to come but says there is currently no automatic compensation scheme for the industry.
