Weekly Economics Podcast: Will Brexit boost Britain’s fishing industry?

Pro-Brexit campaigners have argued leaving the EU means Britain can ​“take control” of its fisheries. But what does Brexit really mean for fishing communities and for the future of our fish stocks?

This week, Ayeisha Thomas-Smith is joined by Fernanda Balata, Senior Programme Lead for Coastal Economies at the New Economics Foundation, Griffin Carpenter, NEF Senior Researcher, and James Wilson, a mussel farmer in Bangor, North Wales.

We also ask NEF Principal Director for Policy and Advocacy Andrew Pendleton for his predictions and expectations of this week’s budget.
