Fisheries Council meets Print E-mail
Tuesday, 22 January 2008

The Scottish Fisheries Council has held its inaugural meeting in Edinburgh, with the promotion of the new conservation credits scheme agreed last December at the European Fisheries Council high on the agenda. 

The Council, which brings together representatives of the fishing industry, conservation groups and scientists, was set up to ensure a sustainable future for fishing in Scotland, and to help facilitate communication between government and the various industry sectors.

Chairing the meeting, Cabinet Secretary for Rural Affairs and the Environment Richard Lochhead said:

“This is a time of hope and optimism for our fishing communities.  The Scottish Government strongly believes that our fisheries and marine environment are best managed in Scotland by all those with an interest. New opportunities and challenges face the fishing industry in Scotland.  Through the Scottish Fisheries Council I believe we can continue to work together to meet these with passion and innovation.

“I want the Scottish Fisheries Council to make a real difference to fishermen and fishing communities across Scotland.  Its establishment demonstrates the ambitious we have for the future of our seas and the future of fishing in Scotland.  I promised fresh idea for fishing and that is what we are delivering.”
