Have Brexit, pollution and the pandemic killed the great British shellfish industry?

the industry has been in a steady downward spiral.A post-Brexit world has proven to be a difficult place for shellfish fishermen. EU red tape in the immediate wake of Brexit caused prices to plummet and created chaos at the border, as British exporters got stuck with lorries full of live shellfish, only to be turned away if a form was filled out in the wrong colour pen. One company sent £15,000 worth of scallops to the border in January 2021 and got delayed due to paperwork errors; by the time they arrived in France, the scallops had gone off.In the year since, exporters have been trying to fathom the new regulations after Brussels ruled they could no longer bring live mussels, oysters, scallops, clams and cockles into Europe from what are referred to as ‘category B’ waters, unless they had been purified.

COVID-19 will be with us for ‘foreseeable future’ PHAC says, warning of future waves “To not get COVID, you have to be careful, meticulously careful and also fortunate,” said Colin Furness, infection control epidemiologist and assistant professor at the University of Toronto.Your location and living arrangement can increase the likelihood of catching COVID-19, with studies showing that marginalized communities are at greater risk of infection.Genetic factors, that have not yet been identified, could also be playing a role with some people being simply impervious to COVID-19, said Furness.That can also explain why people have different reactions to the virus and experience varying symptoms.
