SFF - A new dawn ?
The SFF feels there has been a positive shift in the public perception of the fishing industry, thanks to fishermen enthusiastically embracing new policies and initiatives for the sustainable harvesting of fish stocks according to its chief executive Bertie Armstrong.
He feels the industry is working hard to enhance its image and in recent years has taken massive strides in adopting new and sustainable approaches to fishing and that Scottish fishermen are proud to be leading the way in the development of sustainable fishing practices and working constructively with government and scientists.
He also asserted that the fishing fleet is now at the right size to the available catching opportunity and has moved towards a culture of working hand in hand with government and scientists - working with the grain, not against it.
