Wales’ largest fishing port, Milford Fish Docks, is set for a major redevelopment plan as part of the Port of Milford Haven’s £60 million Milford Dock Master Plan.
The redevelopment is set to transform the entire area around Milford Fish Docks, bringing with it further growth and job opportunities. New resources include high standard storage, processing, retail and tourism facilities in order to retain the catch landed in Milford Haven so that seafood caught in Pembrokeshire can be promoted as a brand to be sought after. Works preparing part of the site are expected to begin in the autumn.
Alun Davies, Minister for Natural Resources and Food, has also confirmed that work is underway to produce a comprehensive Marine and Fisheries Strategic Action Plan for Wales that will help create a more sustainable and profitable fishing industry in the country.
In addition, a dedicated website was launched at the opening event of Pembrokeshire Fish Week 2013 on 22 June. The site provides details about current services and facilities, access information and potential investment opportunities for everyone involved in the fishing industry, as well as the general public. The website can be viewed at www.milfordfishdocks.com.
