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.
