@DefraGovUK @david_duguid Price of fuel to the vessels now hovering at £1 per litre. Being price takers, not price makers, leaves commercial fishermen economically vulnerable. It’s time for fiscal package to support it #FoodSecurity #feedthenation

[Seafish @seafishuk]

Pleased to confirm we have funding to work with the industry to improve data on lobster, crab and whelk stocks. This work will shape long-term sustainable fisheries management. @welsh_fishermen @western_fish @holdernessFIG @heriotwattuni @BangorUni

[Western Fish Producers' Organisation @western_fish]

@seafishuk Agreed. @Seafish could you please correct the photo?

30% reduction in fuel use and 69% reduction in benthic discards! Read the report on the trial of the Sumwing by the Margaret of Ladram, Seafish and WFPO. https://t.co/wcDFjemTWK

[Seafish @seafishuk]

We support the fishing industry to develop selective gear technologies. We were asked to provide technical support during a sea trial of an innovative Sumwing beam trawl by @western_fish.

A report on the trial is available on our website:

If you are wondering about that headline on bottom trawling releasing more carbon than the aviation industry, you should read this article on the critiques by some of the top fisheries scientists in the world on the flawed assumptions made. https://t.co/DLlu10yxZM

BBC Devon and BBC Spotlight featuring the fishing apprenticeship! This will hopefully start getting the word out about this amazing program to give young people a leg up to become a fishermen/women. WFPO is proud to be involved.

Little clip of a #whale along side us @MSCintheUK #Hake #fishing last week 50mile NW of #cornwall taken by one of the crew, had about 5-6 of them in the area for most of daylight hrs

[Western Fish Producers' Organisation @western_fish]

Wonderful to meet our Fisheries Minister @VictoriaPrentis MP in person. We hope you had a productive and positive visit to Brixham

[Bryce Stewart @BD_Stew]

One of the most striking results of our paper was that the vast majority of studies on marine spatial management (e.g. #MPAs) have focused on measuring ecological characteristics. There is a clear need for more social & economic analysis #MarSocSci

[NFFO @NFFO_UK]

A revolutionary new initiative funded by The Seafarers’ Charity will provide access to a range of affordable financial services for fishing families. https://t.co/8KIbMiec32

The King of the Sea (turbot) fillets in your local Aldi! So interested to see if the great British public expand out of fish fingers. Well done @AldiUK
