For Those in Peril (1992x30)

: 17, 1992

Forced to remain in harbour against their will and obliged to throw almost half their catch back into the sea, British fishermen are angrier than at any time since the "cod war" of the early 1970s. The Government says that it is enforcing conservation; fishermen say they can only survive by breaking the law. John Nicolson reports on Britain's oldest industry, in peril on the sea.
