The Conservative Environment Network seeks to highlight how Conservatives can work to protect the environment and conserve natural assets without losing site of our core values.
They hold a range of events at Party Conference and I was invited to join a panel to debate whether we are doing enough to protect our waters from overfishing.
Clearly fishing is a key industry in our community and essential to our local identity. But we need to work to ensure we have sustainable fish stocks and look at how we ensure our waters are protected at the same time. An interesting topic and a wide-ranging debate.
