Writes Of Howth sign in Howth Harbor. Following Brexit, the UK will no longer be part of the EU Commons Fisheries Policy (CFP). Becoming an independent coastal state it will be fully responsible for managing fisheries in the UK’s Exclusive Economic Zone of 200 miles (including setting total allowable catches, distributing quotas and determining access to fisheries). However, access for EU vessels to UK waters and vice versa is part of the ongoing negotiations and a future agreement with the EU. According to Patrick Murphy, chief executive of the Irish South and West Fish Producers Organisation, Irish coastal communities will be 'destroyed' if Britain's post-Brexit fishing demands are granted. On Saturday, December 19, 2020, in Dublin, Ireland.
