APPG on Fisheries

The cause:

Sustainable and thriving UK fisheries, that are heard and understood in Parliament.

The Effect

Acting as Secretariat to the All-Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) on Fisheries, we support the APPG’s activities within Parliament aimed at promoting and supporting UK fisheries, in all their diversity.

Steered by the APPG’s highly engaged and cross-party membership of MPs and Peers, we do this by organising and facilitating well-attended and engaging Parliamentary seminars, meetings and roundtable discussions, and conducting research on key sector issues and policy developments. Based on these, the Group publishes written reports and briefings (such as policy briefs), which are disseminated across a range of online platforms and media outlets.

Providing space for informed discussion, debate and learning around key questions for the industry, processing sector, coastal communities and the marine environment, our work with the APPG ultimately leads to greater understanding amongst decision-makers of the complexity of fisheries and the challenges they face.
