Helen Mark visits the Wash, a vast bay in East Anglia, where the interests of fishing and conservation are finely balanced.
The Wash has been fished for centuries for cockles, mussels and brown shrimp, but it's also visited by thousands of migratory birds, as they crisscross the globe.

Produced by Beatrice Fenton.
