UK fisheries policy post-Brexit: multi-level challenges and opportunities

Overview

This projected examined the different levels of government in the UK in the context of fisheries policy. Using fisheries as a case study, the project aimed to contribute to the academic literature on multi-level governance and rescaling by exploring the need to alter policy realities in a post Brexit UK.

Besides examining the UK’s internal dynamics, the project aimed to look overseas to Norway, Iceland and the Faroe Islands; states and territories who are outside the EU but who govern their own territorial waters and who negotiate with each other and the EU every year to set the amount of fish that can be caught in particular parts of the seas around Europe.
