Under quota deals which continued through Brexit, sand eels are being taken out of the sea at rates which impact the bird.

Boris Johnson says prospect of trans-Pacific trade deal is 'exciting opportunity' as Dominic Raab begins negotiations

"There is a big problem with it because it's in conflict with wildlife conservation. There are far too many fish being taken out of the sea and not enough being left behind to sustain thriving seabird populations."One of the options available to ministers across the UK is to manage our fisheries in our own water after Brexit, so we could close UK waters to sand eel fishing.

"What governments could do is work with partners across the North Sea to improve the scientific evidence, to make sure there's a 'set aside' for seabirds when setting the annual catch limits for sand eel fishing in the North Sea." There are areas of UK waters that are closed to sand eel fishing but conservationists want that extended to a complete ban.A government spokesperson said they are working with European countries 'to manage shared stocks in a sustainable way'
