Watch out for a major seafood and fishing event on the 10 November this year at a Central London venue is yet to be decided.
This important seminar will look forward to the approaches that the fishing industry and policy makers can take to conserve marine biodiversity for the future, whilst balancing demands from consumers for the products to which they have grown accustomed.
Local MP, Andrew George will attend the event in his capacity as Shadow Minister for Marine and Natural Environment - get any thoughts, comments or ideas to him well in advance to avoid disappointment - your chance to get your voice heard at the highest level!
The latest agenda is available as a download here.

Prue Nash survives for 2 hours in the water 50 miles off Land's End.
Listen to James Churchfield's Breakfast Show to the amazing story of yachtswoman Prue Nash who fell overboard from a yacht travelling from Cork to Southampton. After losing her footing and sliding off the deck under the handrail Prue spent over two hours in the water without a lifejacket that she had to ditch. Listen from 3 minutes in for an interview with the lucky survivor from her bedside at Treliske Hospital.
