Fathom: getting below the surface of the UK fishing industry.
There is so much more to fishing than just catching fish. Through real conversations with real fishermen, fishing experts and the people who write the rules, we'll help you navigate complex fishing regulations, be more safety-aware, keep up to date on market trends and much more. We'll also be scouring the UK coast for amazing stories from fishing families - connecting you to harbours, boats, and people, around the country. Fathom is brought to you by the Cornish Fish Producers' Organisation and funded by The Seafarers' Charity.
Fathom: getting below the surface of the UK fishing industry.
Fathom 7: #FishToYourDoor
Another rapid-fire Fathom in response to the ongoing Covid-19 crisis, and examining its impacts on the fishing and seafood industries. After an extremely busy week of #FishToYourDoor campaign work, Paul and Chris dive into:
- The current state of the market - what's being landed and how are prices looking.
- How #FishToYourDoor has played out so far, and how it's helping merchants in Cornwall keep their businesses open whilst feeding families across the county and country, including an interview with Naomi Bullus of Celtic Fish & Game.
- Plans to use #FishToYourDoor as a platform for long-term, meaningful change. Could we all be eating fresh, local fish in the future?
- An update on Government support for fishing communities and ongoing discussions with Defra about how to protect the industry.
