Martyn will head up Fisheries and Quota management for Waterdance, which is part of the Greendale Group and based in the South-West of England. It operates 23 fishing vessels, including beam trawlers, netters, potters and scallopers with two new boats currently under construction; a 35-metre beam trawler and a 15-metre potter.
“We are looking forward to having Martyn as part of our dynamic team,” said Waterdance Managing Director Nigel Blazeby.
“There are considerable challenges ahead in Fisheries – from quota management, sustainability, the Landing Obligation and Brexit! Having someone who has an understanding of how fisheries management works will be of great benefit. A flow of skills and experience between regulators and the fishing industry is a positive move. ‘Revolving doors’ and crossing over of expertise can only make for a better industry.”
