Gap2 Project - How do scientists and fishermen work together?

How do scientists and fishermen work together?

 

Fisheries scientist Emma Pearson works with crab fishermen in Devon on a daily basis. Check out what a day onboard a crabbing vessel is like for those scientists collecting data and how the fishermen feel about having a scientist along for the ride. GAP2 is an EU wide project, bringing fishermen, scientists and policy makers together, to work towards sustainable fisheries for the benefit of society. We manage 13 projects spread across Europe, and one of them is in Devon, in the South West of England. 


Would you want to go for a day's fishing with the Devon crabbers?
