COPENHAGEN - In the small fishing town of Thyboron on the northwestern coast of Denmark, many fishermen worry the British waters they have become increasingly dependent on will be out of reach when Britain leaves the European Union.
Poul Erik began his career in the offshore oil industry, but in 2011 he bought into a fishing vessel made by his father, who has been a fisherman all his life. In 2015 - one year before the British voted to leave the EU - Poul Erik and his father retrofitted their vessel to make room for a bigger catch on their longer journeys deeper into British waters.
Under a ‘no deal’ Brexit scenario, Britain can choose to close its sea border completely overnight or wait until the end of 2019, according to the Danish fishing minister. “For me personally I could lose my job, if our fishing in British waters was limited,” says Mikkel Jakobsen, 22, who works onboard the Pia Glanz fishing vessel along with nine other crew.
