Last week, the UK agreed a deal with Norway and the Faroe Islands that will help reduce the fishing pressure on mackerel.
The deal gives access to Norway and the Faroe Islands to be able to fish some of their quota in the UK zone. In exchange for this, an annual transfer of some of their quota will be made to the UK.
It is hoped that this deal will be stepping-stone to a more long-term quota-sharing arrangement between the nations fishing these waters.
