    What role does shooting play in wildlife conservation?

    BRIXHAM, ENGLAND - MARCH 02:  Fishing boats moored in Brixham harbour  on March 2, 2016 in Devon, England. The UK's fishing industry is likely to be radically affected by the outcome of the EU referendum that the UK electorate will vote on June 23. Currently under the EU's Common Fisheries Policies (CFP), quotas are imposed on UK fishermen and it also grants equal access to other European fishing fleets to the UK 200-mile exclusive economic zone around the UK coastline whilst preserving a 12-mile zone for exclusive UK boats. However if the UK votes to leave the UK would regain full control over its 200-mile fishing zone, although bilateral agreement with other fishing nations could require granting access on a quid pro quo basis and there is uncertainty about the potential loss of export markets.
