NEW VIDEO ON SCOTTISH PELAGIC INDUSTRY-SCIENCE DATA COLLECTION PROGRAMME

A new video on the Scottish pelagic industry-science data collection programme has been released, which highlights the benefits this innovative scheme brings to fisheries management and the marine environment.

Produced by The Fishmongers’ Company, the video includes contributions from programme partners the Scottish Pelagic Fishermen’s Association, University of Highlands & Islands – Shetland, and the Marine Directorate of the Scottish Government, as well as from fishermen.

This new collaboration between fishers and scientists not only provides high quality data on herring, mackerel and blue whiting stocks, but also builds understanding and trust between science and industry.

The Scottish pelagic industry-science data collection programme video can be viewed below:

This is the first in a series of videos promoting good practice in the UK fishing industry. These videos and case studies will be hosted on Fishing into the Future’s Porthole website (fishingporthole.co.uk).
