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 8: Putting our arms around the industry
The Fathom team continue to bring you our rapid-fire Fathom episodes in response to the ongoing Covid-19 crisis. This week Paul and Chris interview the Chief Executive Officer of the Marine Management Organisation (MMO), Tom McCormack CBE.
In this short 20-minute episode, Paul asks Tom how the MMO will be guiding the industry through this crisis and what support they will be offering. Tom outlines his vision for the next few months and asks fishermen to step forward to let the MMO know what they can do to ensure their customer and stakeholder engagement is meeting the needs of the seafood sector.
If you have questions you would like to put to Tom after listening to the episode, please let us know via Twitter. We'll put your questions directly to Tom when he returns to Fathom in the next few weeks.
