What, like this:

Today (21 December 2021) the UK, negotiating as an independent coastal State, has reached an agreement with Norway on fisheries access and quotas for 2022. These discussions mark the start of a new arrangement between the UK and Norway, in which both parties permit some access to each other’s waters and exchange a number of fish quotas in the North Sea and the Arctic.

The agreement on mutual access will allow respective fleets more flexibility to target the stocks in the best condition throughout the fishing year, supporting a more sustainable and economically viable fishing industry.

The UK fishing industry will gain access to 30,000 tonnes of whitefish stocks, such as cod, haddock and hake, in the North Sea, providing a welcome boost for 2022.

Norway will allocate the UK 6,550 tonnes of cod around Svalbard. In total, that means the UK can fish over 7,000 tonnes of cod in the arctic, estimated to be worth around £16 million. This is 1,500 tonnes more than in 2021.

And this:

A fisherman is on a quest to revive Lowestoft's historic herring fishery and his family's traditions as a Brexit deal has given boats enough quota to make a living for the first time in 50 years.

The UK-EU agreement signed earlier this year should allow the town’s herring fishery to thrive for the first time since the 1960s - but fishermen need help to sell the hundreds of tons of fish they are now allowed to catch.

Fishermen say abundant herring are now available in the North Sea, and the area needs investment from freezers, smokers, transport and buyers so they can make the industry a success again.

Martin Yorwarth, 49, wants to take advantage of the new larger quotas allowed for British boats in the Trade and Cooperation deal signed earlier this year, which will see the amount of herring UK boats are allowed to catch in the Southern North Sea and Eastern Channel rise by almost a third between 2020 and 2026.

Overfishing and red tape destroyed the once thriving East Anglian herring industry in the 1960s, and in the 1990s smaller boats were pushed out by larger trawlers.

Fishermen now see a chance to restore it, with a 600-ton quota allocated for the area this year.

The remainers love highlighting negative news stories about Brexit, but we can all do the same in arguing the opposite, and here are two examples of it.
