Beavers boost fish populations, says study

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.

OPINION: The secret poisoning of Britain’s hedgerows

HIGHBRIDGE, ENGLAND - MAY 18: A resident fox is seen at Secret World Wildlife Rescue in East Huntspill near Highbridge on May 18, 2015 in Somerset, England. Prime Minister David Cameron pledged that the MPs would be given a free vote on scrapping Labour's 10 year-old controversial hunting ban if the Conservatives won the election and some Tory MPs are demanding the vote to be included in this month's Queen Speech. However the threat of the repeal of the act has raised serious concerns with a number of animal welfare charities who are opposed to hunting. (Photo by Matt Cardy/Getty Images)
