3. CREATE A DEMAND FOR OUR WORLD CLASS SEAFOOD
Differentiate our produce from the rest of the UK & Ireland, ensure it is sold for high-end prices as quality produce
4. CONTINUE ENSURING THERE ARE STOCKS TO FISH FOR THE FUTURE
Ongoing engagement of NI fishermen in sustainable fishing techniques to safeguard future stocks, holding ourselves to the high standards that our customers expect
5. GROW A FEELING OF COMMUNITY OWNERSHIP & PRIDE
Locals will only want to save what they value and feel worth saving. Develop community collaboration and co-operation.
"If we deplete our fish stocks, lose licenses & quotas overseas, lack commercial interest in our produce and our kids don't want to go into fishing then our future is bleak. This is why we need Government, business & the public to #supportNIfishing."
