Future Fisheries
The aim of the project is to champion a low impact, profitable fishing industry in Wales where marine wildlife also thrives.
Future Fisheries is an essential part of the Wildlife Trust of South Wales’ work for Living Seas.
We believe it is important for people to understand and appreciate the marine environment as well as the range of activities and pressures the marine environment faces.
Fish to eat
Choose wisely… think local.
Seafood is a tasty treat. When buying seafood, consider when and where it was caught, how it was caught and what size it is (most species have a minimum landing size).
To help you make your seafood choice we have used a simple traffic light system to evaluate the top ten fish/shellfish species, in terms of value that were landed into ports in south Wales in recent years.
Local means fish or shellfish caught in Welsh waters by welsh fishers/boats.
Low impact means fishing methods that have little or no environmental impact beyond the removal of the target species.
Play your part
Truly low impact fishing will support Living Seas and protect our local fishing heritage for future generations. Please help us to keep it local.
You can visit any of our visitor centres including our unique Cardigan Bay Marine Wildlife Centre and gift shop located on the sea front in the heart of New Quay overlooking the beach and harbour. Our only visitor centre dedicated to our Living Seas marine work.
