Poseidon have been employed as consultants and have arranged a workshop on the 26th September 2016 in Kings Lynn that will progress further the work that is required to take this to the full assessment. This is required to prove the fishery is sustainable, key members from the fishery and stakeholders will all contribute to the workshop.

On initial findings it was thought that there was limited landings data for Shrimp to allow for a full progression towards the MSC accreditation, we now feel we are in a position whereby the data we have collated over the last 3 years gives us good evidence of a sustainable fishery.
The sub working group meetings have been based on the data collation and we are very close to a reporting system that offers the correct information although is also workable for the staff involved and the vessels at sea.
In a recent meeting the sub working group decided that it is now time to progress this forward and 2016 will be an exciting year for the project, this fits with the launch of the new European Maritime and Fisheries Fund (EMFF) that the group will hope to access to reduce the burden of costs on the local fleet of vessels and processors where possible.
