DEFRA has launched a consultation to support sustainable fishing of non-quota fish stocks, including considerations for restrictions on flyseining to protect stocks.
We will be joined by Phil McBryde from the Non-Quota Species team at DEFRA to highlight the currently open consultation managing flyseine vessel pressure on demersal Non-Quota Species and share information & advice on how to submit your opinions.
We will also be hearing from diverse voices within industry on how they are approaching this opportunity to have their say. After hearing from our speakers there will be an opportunity for an open discussion to ask questions and constructive conversation.
The consultation will run for 12 weeks from 25 August until 17 November 2022.
Zoom links are available to registered attendees on the Eventbrite Online Event Page, and will be sent by email before the event starts.
Fishing into the Future (FITF) is hosting a series of talks focused on furthering knowledge and creating connections with people supporting the fishing industry. These informal conversations, hosted by fishermen on the FITF Board of Trustees, encourage participation within a fishermen-led space, and invite experts on different topics to share knowledge and take your questions. Topics are suggested by industry, and the focus is on learning and creating a dialogue between people who are passionate about the future of the industry.
Whether you are connecting from the wheelhouse or from your sofa – join the conversation and keep your finger on the pulse.
