The UK High Court is being asked to make a judgement over the question of who owns the fish in the sea. Its been a long running battle. Briefly, the UK Government want to reallocate unused quota from 'big businesses' to small scale fishers. You can see why this is a contentious issue. 'Big business' wants to keep the quota because they might need it in the future, but the smaller-scale fishers feel that their businesses might be more viable if they were allocated a larger share of the allowable catch.
