UK County Unveils Fish Park Plan

The UK county of Lancashire is planning to open a £18.6m ($27m) fish park to help develop the region’s seafood processing industry.

The proposed plant in Fleetwood is expected to create 150 jobs and generate up to £34m ($49.5m) in increased business.

The scheme will secure the future of the port’s fish-processing industry, according to fleetwoodtoday.co.uk.

The processing industry contributes up to £135m ($196m) to the UK economy and is projected to grow nearly £34m ($49.5m) over the next ten years.
