4.7 FishingCoastal FishingAlthough there are several villages located along the coast whichdeveloped as fishing communities, the industry has largelyceased in these settlements, with only 11 boats now operatingfrom Staithes, Runswick Bay and Robin Hood’s Bay employinga total of 22 people. However the coastal waters adjoining theNational Park are used by fishing boats from Scarborough andWhitby and are an important fishery especially for crab andlobster. In recent years, warmer sea temperatures have resulted inother species, such as velvet crab, becoming commercially viable.These and other catch species are often exported, providingvaluable income to the wider National Park area.River FishingThere are two river catchments in the National Park supportingpotential sports fisheries – the Esk and the Derwent.The river Esk is currently Yorkshire’s only Salmon Action Plan riverand is an important salmon and sea trout fishery. Sedimentationin the Esk has impacted on salmon reproduction but since theintroduction of a stocking programme in the 1990s using Eskprovenance stock the salmon catch has increased although is stillnot reaching target numbers. The Salmon and Trout Associationsuggests that the overall income to an area arising from salmonfishing is £2,500 per fish. Fishing on the Esk therefore has thepotential to bring significant economic benefits to a remoteupland area.The Derwent catchment is significantly larger, and drains themajority of the southern area of the National Park. Most of therivers within the National Park are small but support good, andpotentially valuable, wild trout and grayling populations. Wildtrout fishing is at a premium but, with a few exceptions, theeconomic potential of sports fishing is not exploited.Recent improvements to water quality in the river Humberhave meant that salmon and sea trout have started to run intothe Humber catchment, including the Derwent. The mainconstraint on migratory fish entering the Derwent and Rye arephysical barriers in the form of weirs. If these problems can beaddressed, there is a strong possibility that the small rivers withinthe National Park will become increasingly valuable as sportsfisheries.Challenges● Removing physical obstructions to fish migration in the Eskand Derwent and supporting measures to increase thediversity and number of fish in the National Park’s rivers.● Increasing the potential for sports fishing in the National Parkand its contribution to the rural economy.In 15 Years Time…There are salmon present in the upper river Derwent and moresports fishing takes place on the National Park’s rivers.North York Moors National Park Management Plan97
