What the petition asks
Fishing is not an industry, even with potential growth, equates to the downside of a WTO trade deal with the EU. Accept a 5 year status quo on access rights and quotas.
Because the downside of a WTO Brexit outweighs the benefits to a tiny minority industry.
Why it was rejected
The UK Government or Parliament was already taking the action it asked for.
Since you started your petition the Government has agreed a deal with the EU regarding future relations, including on fisheries.
