In 2015, British registered vessels landed approximately 35% of the total weight of landings from the UK’s territorial waters (0-12 nautical miles) and the UK’s EEZ (12 -200 nautical miles or the median line with other Coastal States) combined. Estimated total landings from this area include those by UK, EU, Norwegian and Faroese vessels.
