COMMERCIAL #FISHERMEN! We're looking for video footage from UK fishermen fishing in ALL weather conditions. 🌧️🌊
Footage may be used in a new national #fishing safety campaign we're working on w/ @seafishuk & @MCA_media. Only fishermen in PFDs.

After more than two decades at the front-line of UK gear innovation - Mike Montgomerie, Gear Technologist @Seafish has retired. The Gearing Up team thank him for his incredible industry knowledge & wish him a happy retirement! Read his account here ➡️ https://t.co/2KjkX0lmd2
Want to add your own selectivity trial to Gearing Up tool? We are looking at organising a seminar in 2020 to help teach you how! Please get in touch if you are interested ➡️ [email protected]
ICYMI: Read how Kongsberg Maritime’s VP Fishery, Olav Vittersø, believes unlocking the potential of #gear innovation could help improve #fishing performance and achieve #sustainability for the industry 👉https://t.co/BY9fTHI749
Are you up to date with your technical gear requirements? ⛴️ All #fishermen are encouraged to use selective gear designs to avoid unwanted catch. Read up on #selectivity requirements here 👉https://t.co/ut4hkCDra0 & check out our tool more gear advice: https://t.co/DSPqQgyCo8
Do you know someone doing great work to improve their #selectivity? 🐟Why not nominate them for the @YourFishingNews#Sustainability Award? Nominations close at midnight on 11th February 2020. Cast your votes here 👉https://t.co/dbFnmPW4dI
@NOAAFisheries awards $2.3 million funding to innovative #bycatch projects, including those testing gear modifications to avoid by-catch in Pacific cod & halibut pot fisheries. Been involved in a gear trial? Visit our website & get in touch ➡️ https://t.co/4d5e9r3AV3
The new & improved Hampidjan #Bacalao demersal trawl lifts clear of the seabed, helping to improve #selectivity, and catches fewer gilled #fish. Check it out ➡️ https://t.co/v50Iob2JIg
Trial 98 of the #GearingUp Tool looked to reduce #cod, #haddock, #plaice & other whitefish in demersal #fisheries. By using a 200mm square mesh panel, fewer smaller cod, haddock, plaice, #megrim & #anglerfish were caught. Take a look ➡️ https://t.co/Fvfd7kxYE4
#Scottish fishermen trial a new real-time reporting app to avoid unwanted catches of cod & whiting.The project is led by the Scottish Fishermen's Organisation (SFO), @aberdeenuni & @fiscotorg w/ support from @SWFPA, @seafishuk & Chordata. Take a look ➡️ https://t.co/qlGRqaDZYF
Major beam trawler operator @WaterdanceLtd has said that its use of highly selective #fishing gear has enabled it to fulfil the requirements of the #LandingObligation, with only the capture of small #monkfish being a cause for concern. https://t.co/hvUGCrsd0s
Trial 301 on the #GearingUp Tool hoped to reduce unwanted catches of undersized #whiting in #nephrops fisheries using a coverless #trawl. The trawl reduced unwanted catches of whiting, improved fuel efficiency & reduced sorting times. Take a look ➡️ https://t.co/7t7YuhAVax
. @HeriotWattUni are offering a PhD project looking at the ecosystem effects of static #fishing#gear with the aim of quantifying factors such as #bycatch. Want to contribute to research underpinning #GearSelectivity? Take a look: https://t.co/4S2hLEVBAK
. @ITECHMER 2019 is right around the corner (16-18 Oct) & it promises to showcase tons of #innovative & #selective#fishing gear. @Morgeretrawls will be displaying their Exocet & Osprey trawl doors that are designed to #fish just above the seabed ➡️ https://t.co/gq57A1vzw9
