This morning at the #LabourPartyConference.
Backing Wind, Forgetting Fish? Why aren't we backing food from our seas, and the people who catch it , with the same ambition as offshore energy? Join @melanie_onn with Mike Cohen (@NFFO_UK) & Elaine Whyte (@CFAScot), 09:00, Arden Events Lounge (Secure Zone).
Allow time for security.

Government has ambitiously backed renewable energy from our seas – so why not also back the people and communities who put food from the same waters on our plates? Join us at The #LabourPartyConference on Monday where we will pose this question during our session with @melanie_onn MP, Mike Cohen (@NFFO_UK) and Elaine Whyte (@CFAScot). loom.ly/nQAWsNw

I was delighted to speak at the Launch of the APPG on Fisheries’ Action Plan for a Thriving and Sustainable UK Fishing Industry.
It was great to hear the passion and vision for the fisheries sector, and I thank the APPG for the hard work that went into the Action Plan.

Yesterday, the @FisheriesAPPG hosted a parliamentary roundtable on recruitment and labour in UK #fishing. Part of an ongoing conversation, we heard from industry experts of challenges and steps needed on access, training, welfare, and fishing narratives. #FishingLivelihoods

The event offered a chance to meet Scotland’s fishing community and hear their stories while enjoying the freshest, most delicious seafood Scotland has to offer against the buzzing atmosphere of The Barras Market!
Big thanks to fellow partners/supporters for a brilliant event 🐟

What an amazing weekend showcasing the quality and excellence of Scottish seafood at Festival of the Sea 🌊🦞
The importance of engaging with consumers and highlighting the range of dishes that can be prepared with our seafood cannot be understated.

As F-REP Clyde wrapped up, we explored seafood markets & economics. Discussions highlighted the crucial role fishermen play in supporting ethically sourced, sustainably certified products. With growing consumer demand for sustainable options, the future looks positive.

Today at F-REP, we explored fisheries management, with a special focus on "co-management." Attendees learned about an exchange trip to the US, where fisheries, scientists & policymakers work together to make decisions that drive sustainability in local fisheries.

At F-REP, it’s not just about sitting back – we focus on getting hands-on! This afternoon, attendees rolled up their sleeves & worked in teams to conduct their own Nephrops survey, diving into practical activities to learn by doing #FREP #ClydeFishing #FisheriesScience
