6. Plaid Cymru Debate: Fisheries and aquaculture (10 Nov 2021)

Cefin Campbell: Rhun supports this in terms of job creation and economic benefits, stating that there is great potential for aquaculture, that we have expertise in Wales that is admired across the whole of Europe, that we have concerns that that expertise and that capacity and ability that we have in Wales is going to be lost, and, as we heard Rhun mention, the possibility that much of the potential is going...

6. Plaid Cymru Debate: Fisheries and aquaculture (10 Nov 2021)

Cefin Campbell: Sam threw me the bait—excuse the pun—which I'm happy to take, around opportunities from Brexit. I'm afraid I don't quite agree with his analysis, because what I'm seeing across coastal areas of the UK and the fishing industry is absolute chaos at the moment. I'm looking forward to seeing, as the Minister outlined, some clear strategy from Welsh Government about utilising, from that chaos,...

6. Plaid Cymru Debate: Fisheries and aquaculture (10 Nov 2021)

Cefin Campbell: Thank you, Presiding Officer. Put simply, as I summarise, the motion before us this afternoon calls on the Welsh Government to work with industry stakeholders to develop a fisheries and aquaculture policy, backed by a strategy that has sustainability, investment and industry engagement at its core. Could I thank everyone who has contributed to this very interesting and very useful debate...

6. Plaid Cymru Debate: Fisheries and aquaculture (10 Nov 2021)

Cefin Campbell: So, with exciting prospects for a rapidly growing sector, we need to know what the Government's future strategy is to support aquaculture in Wales, and indeed what its strategy is to take advantage of the potential to grow this industry in Wales for the future. Thank you.

6. Plaid Cymru Debate: Fisheries and aquaculture (10 Nov 2021)

Cefin Campbell: Llywydd, Wales—oh, sorry, Dirprwy Lywydd—Wales has the potential natural capital and knowledge base to further develop the aquaculture sector, but we need Welsh Government to realign and focus policy and resources on the sector in a more co-ordinated and integrated way. The aquaculture sector can support job creation, innovation, contribute to nature-based ecosystem services and truly...

6. Plaid Cymru Debate: Fisheries and aquaculture (10 Nov 2021)

Cefin Campbell: Recently, I was part of a Plaid Cymru delegation that visited the pioneering aquaculture facility in Penmon, with the Member for Ynys Môn, and I saw the opportunities that the sector can bring to Wales. This is the fastest growing food sector in the world. The staff at Mowi Ltd in Penmon have broken new ground in using innovative techniques for producing cleaner fish species, placing these...

6. Plaid Cymru Debate: Fisheries and aquaculture (10 Nov 2021)

Cefin Campbell: Let me turn now to aquaculture. As the demand for seafood is increasing, technology has made it possible to grow food in coastal marine waters and the open ocean. Aquaculture is a method used to produce food and other commercial products, restore habitat and replenish wild stocks, and rebuild populations of threatened and endangered species. The Minister has already stated prior to the summer...

6. Plaid Cymru Debate: Fisheries and aquaculture (10 Nov 2021)

Cefin Campbell: It has to be said, therefore, that the effects on the fishing industry of leaving the EU, together with the tardiness in providing better management of fisheries, make the future of Welsh sea fishing extremely uncertain, which is a matter of great concern, of course. So, what sort of ambition does the Welsh Government have for creating a sector that is vibrant, sustainable and economically...

6. Plaid Cymru Debate: Fisheries and aquaculture (10 Nov 2021)

Cefin Campbell: Now, the responsibility for the management of marine fisheries in Welsh waters lies with Welsh Government's marine and fisheries division. This centralised delivery model was adopted over 10 years ago. It was anticipated this new consolidated delivery model would provide scope for the better use of resources, provide a coherent approach to managing Welsh fisheries and improve the fishing...

6. Plaid Cymru Debate: Fisheries and aquaculture (10 Nov 2021)

Cefin Campbell: Unfortunately, within the programme for government in this sixth Senedd, there is no mention of fisheries and aquaculture at all. It is as though they did not exist at all. We can only conclude, therefore, that the sector is not a priority for the Welsh Government. The Wales fisheries strategy 2008 and the strategic action plan for the sector for 2013 are now out of date. The Welsh Government...

6. Plaid Cymru Debate: Fisheries and aquaculture (10 Nov 2021)

Cefin Campbell: Llywydd, the UK Fisheries Act 2020 provides the framework for UK fishing policy post Brexit. The Act extends the Senedd's legislative competence to include the whole of Welsh waters, known as the Welsh zone. So, clearly, this is a golden opportunity to revive the industry and develop a strategy to move it forward. Now, the previous Welsh Government consulted on post-Brexit marine and...

6. Plaid Cymru Debate: Fisheries and aquaculture (10 Nov 2021)

Cefin Campbell: Thank you very much, Deputy Presiding Officer. The purpose of this debate is to raise awareness of an important industry that was once very prosperous in Wales, but that has, unfortunately, been in decline for many years. However, with dedicated support from the Government, it could contribute to the economic regeneration of our coastal communities—socially as well. We have poetry, folk...

2. Questions to the Minister for Education and Welsh Language: Questions Without Notice from Party Spokespeople (10 Nov 2021)

Cefin Campbell: Thank you very much. My final question is similar to a question asked by Laura Anne Jones, but I'm going to approach it from a slightly different perspective, namely the attainment gap in the data published by Qualifications Wales this week, which showed that there were fewer A* and A grades in examinations from children in receipt of free school meals as compared to those more privileged...

2. Questions to the Minister for Education and Welsh Language: Questions Without Notice from Party Spokespeople (10 Nov 2021)

Cefin Campbell: Thank you very much. Well, I look forward to seeing the draft strategy. Just to follow up on that, I've been referring specifically to the statutory sector. The objectives of Cymraeg 2050 recognise the important role of further and higher education in delivering this vision of a million Welsh speakers. And you as a Government are duty-bound to ensure that learners and students have...

2. Questions to the Minister for Education and Welsh Language: Questions Without Notice from Party Spokespeople (10 Nov 2021)

Cefin Campbell: Thank you very much, Llywydd. Would the Minister agree with me that one of the most important things that needs to happen in order to ensure that more children benefit from Welsh-medium education is to ensure that qualified bilingual teachers are available to teach them? Now, whilst we recognise that there has been some progress since the beginning of the pandemic in terms of the numbers...

1. Questions to the Minister for Climate Change: Carbon Offsetting (10 Nov 2021)

Cefin Campbell: Thank you very much, Deputy Minister. As you know, I've conveyed concerns several times in the Chamber about farms being bought by companies outside Wales for offsetting carbon emissions, and nearly every week we hear about examples of this happening. And as a result, we are losing family farms and we are losing good agricultural land, and we're seeing trees displacing people, with a negative...

1. Questions to the Minister for Climate Change: Carbon Offsetting (10 Nov 2021)

Cefin Campbell: 7. Will the Minister make a statement on the current regulatory framework for planting trees for carbon offsetting purposes? OQ57149

QNR: Questions to the Minister for Education and the Welsh Language (10 Nov 2021)

Cefin Campbell: How does the Welsh Government plan to ensure a supply of Welsh teachers as part of the strategy to reach one million Welsh speakers by 2050?

2. Business Statement and Announcement ( 9 Nov 2021)

Cefin Campbell: Thank you very much, Deputy Presiding Officer. Trefnydd, could I ask you for an oral statement on the latest situation in terms of the impact of the NRW advice on rivers in special areas of conservation that are sensitive to phosphates? This, of course, is having a major impact across the Mid and West Wales region. I'm sure that we all understand the need for clean rivers and unpolluted...

1. Questions to the First Minister: The Recovery of Rural Towns ( 2 Nov 2021)

Cefin Campbell: Thank you very for that response, First Minister, and I'm sure you would agree that the impact of COVID-19 and Brexit has been very damaging for our rural towns. What we see is a picture of decline in our main market towns across the region: shops, banks, pubs and post offices all closing; our town centres being empty and the footfall falling; public services cut and a number of areas having...
