Event to focus on inshore fisheries issues

-

Scotland’s inshore fisheries are under the spotlight at a conference today and tomorrow.

The two-day event at Eden Court features meetings, discussion­s and networking opportunit­ies for delegates from across the country’s inshore fishing industry and the organisati­ons which manage, regulate and advise it.

Conference activities get under way today with a session on the European Maritime and Fisheries Fund-supported Scottish Inshore Fisheries Integrated Data System project, which aims to support data collection efforts and reduce the reporting burden on fishers.

Tomorrow’s programme includes breakout discussion­s and plenaries, where delegates can question speakers and chip in with their own observatio­ns. Fisheries Secretary Fergus Ewing will present on his own thoughts about the sector and its successes and challenges.
