Members of the public have an opportunity through purchasing power to help fishermen who fish in small boats around our shores, usually in the most sustainable of ways.  They are the life and soul of communities and are vital to the management of our marine protected areas.

So far the call to purchase fish locally has been a huge success.  Many fishermen have reported that they might continue to sell locally after the covid-19 restrictions have been lifted.

We are therefore encouraging you to source your local fish for dinner in order to support the small-scale fishermen close to you.  Please share you experience with us by using the #LocalFishForDinner hashtag on social media.
