The Battle Continues.
Six months ago Hugh Fearnley-Whittngstall left the comfort of River Cottage behind and went on a journey to find out what was really going on at the industrial end of our fisheries. What he found was that things are not just bad... but also mad. Half the fish caught in the North Sea is thrown back into the sea, dead, because of crazy EU laws. So he launched a campaign to try to change those laws... And the response from the public was incredible. Over 700,000 people have now signed the fish fight petition, and so many people emailed their MPs to protest about discards that they forced a debate in Parliament. As a direct result of Hugh's campaign, major policy changes are being considered.
