Fishing Into the Future - conference

Fishing Into the Future will enable the exchange of new knowledge and ideas between active fishers, fisheries scientists, fisheries managers and supply chain experts. 

Strong local, regional and national partnerships between all fishing industry stakeholders can provide a solid foundation for sustainability and marketing efforts that will help ensure viable fishing communities and plentiful fish stocks in UK waters for future generations. 

The workshop programme has been initiated by The Prince’s International Sustainability Unit in collaboration with Seafish. The agenda for Fishing Into the Future has been carefully designed by a Steering Group comprising fourteen fishermen and other fishing industry stakeholders. Through a participatory agenda the workshop will seek to answer a few critical questions.
