NIFPO | N.Ireland Fish Producers Organisation

Today we launched our campaign against the government’s plans to ban fishing, aquaculture and harvesting in at least 10% of our country’s seas. We stand ready to fight these proposals every step of the way in the interest of fishermen across Scotland 💪

Just going to leave this here @YourFishingNews - this was a limited poll so I would like to see it done nationally but it appears that the organisation in charge of fishermen’s safety is the main cause of stress and anxiety amongst fishers - how can that ever be right?

Congratulations to Danielle Rooneyn and all the team at Kilkeel Harbour on winning the #FishingNewsAwards port of the year! A great night for NI continues!

Congratulations to Portavogie's Darren McClements on winning the #fishingnewdawards over 10m fisherman of the year!

Today's Telegraph Article featuring a Plymouth fisherman impacted by the new Maritime and Coastguard Agency medical certificate national roll out, based on BMI. It is good to see the fishing industry pull together across the different organisations in…lnkd.in/eiMda6dZ

Delighted that one of NI's own has been nominated for a @YourFishingNews award. Darren McClements of the Golden Ray is one of the leading lights in helping our industry become more sustainable and we think that should be recognised. Please vote here. smartsurvey.co.uk/s/WGSJSX/

@lauralexx The UK fishing vessel that caught that scampi will have only been paid about £1 for the 150 grams it took to make that meal. Not sure who is making money off an £18.95 scampi supper but it's not the fishermen!

18.95 for a scampi supper?!?!?! Whaaaaaat?!?!?!
