plymouth fishing & seafood association

Our aim is to help Plymouth and other local fishing communities served by Plymouth, to thrive whilst protecting the marine environment for all.  

Integral to our mission is recognising and understanding the complexity of fisheries management and the supplies chains. This is embedded within our whole approach.

We are non-profit. All the money we receive and all our resources are invested in helping local fishing communities secure a sustainable future.
