Budding Rose and others use social media to defend the work they have done on discards!


Skipper Peter Bruce on the Budding Rose is just one of a number of Scottish trawler skippers who have embraced social media to help promote their conservation work on discards and counter the attacks on the industry created by HFW's  FishFight campaign.

 She fishes mainly for cod, whiting, coley, hake and whiting along with her pair-partner Lapwing from her home port of Peterhead.
