Watch a video about our scallop gear innovation co-developed with the fishing industry that saves fuel, increases catch efficiency - reduces catches of stones and bycatch. Couple this with a quota limited fishery and there could be substantial environmental benefits for marine life lnkd.in/eHepWwTK

Admittedly this was a case of 'getting it off my chest' but hopefully some will appreciate the logic. Why mention the WI you may ask, Seafish research found that in the UK women are the biggest influencers of what is eaten in the household..hence if fish is off the menu it is a big deal
