EUROPEAN FISHERMEN fear Brexit could wipe out the Falkland Islands’ £200million squid fishing industry and trigger a massive dispute between EU nations, if Boris Johnson fails to agree a free trade agreement with the Brussels bloc.
Currently, EU fishermen travel thousands of miles to the waters of the Falkland Islands to catch a particular species of squid, known as Loligo. But fishermen now fear Brexit could jeopardise the multimillion-pound industry and harm thousands of jobs in the islands and across the EU. Teslyn Barkman, who is in charge of natural resources management in the archipelago, has warned such a scenario could take place if Boris Johnson fails to agree a free trade agreement with the EU.
