Summary

COI synopsis: Prospects and developments in one of the world’s oldest hunting grounds. If we go too far in polluting our seas, fish catching could become of mere academic interest - there will be no fish to catch. Off the coast of Wales, gigantic plastic bags are forming a unique laboratory, in the sea itself, for testing pollution limits.
