Kirkwall meeting for fishermen

Senior Marine Scotland officials are to visit Orkney and Shetland to meet with those involved in the fishing and seafood industry, and hear first hand about their concerns.

With the Scottish fishing industry facing many challenges – including pressure from EU policies, increasing costs and technology changes – a series of ‘quayside conversations’ events will facilitate a frank exchange of views and help shape government policy.

The Kirkwall event takes place in the Town Hall next Thursday,  November 29, between 4.30pm -7.30 pm.

This is one of a total of 18 engagements taking place around Scotland between October 2012, and April 2013.
