UK pan industry body, Seafish, has announced that its new corporate plan has been signed by the four UK fisheries administrations, demonstrating their support for the organisation’s new strategic direction.
The new plan details Seafish’s commitment of over £11.4m to industry projects and initiatives over the next two and a half years.
Dr Paul Williams, Chief Executive, Seafish, said: “We are now in a position to unveil our new corporate plan, which outlines our commitment of a significant investment across eight work programmes. “
The body has already made significant changes to the way that it operates and represents the industry. It says that last year’s restructure resulted in a more open, inclusive and collaborative approach.
The new corporate plan, investment plans and restructure is the culmination of a year-long discussion with industry and follows consultation with the four Fisheries Administrations.
Seafish says that the investment will also lead to greater operational efficiency and transparency through a more open and engaged approach to decision making.
