Can Fishing truly be Sustainable?

from Our Ocean

In this very unique episode, we head out into the beautiful Sound of Skye on a creel fishing boat with Bally Philp - a fisherman in Northwest Scotland known for his dedication to sustainable fishing practices and marine conservation. He is the chair of the Scottish Creel Fishermen's Federation, and one of the founding members of the Scottish Entanglement Alliance, with a passion for cetaceans (whales, dolphins and porpoises) and advancing fishing practices to protect them from harm.We talk about what sustainability in fishing actually means, advances in technology, and whether or not they can prevent marine mammal entanglement in Scotland's fishing fleet.Scottish Entanglement Alliance: https://scottishentanglement.orgOur Seas Scotland: https://www.ourseas.scotThe Our Ocean Podcast is brought to you by Seaful - the UK charity dedicated to connecting people to our ocean.For more information about Seaful, please visit our Website, Instagram or Facebook. To donate to Seaful, please go to https://seaful.org.uk/donate/ For questions or suggestions, please email us - [email protected] can connect with The Our Ocean Podcast's host Cal Major through her Website, Instagram or Facebook.
