This page is regularly updated with the latest news affecting fishing training
in the South West. Whilst we try to keep the page factual and topical, as a
non-political body we are unable to reflect personal or corporate views that
are politically or commercially biased. We do, however, reserve the right to

The Seafish Industry Authority has lost the court of appeal case brought by British Seafoods in respect of their objection for the need to pay levy on imported fish.
This has major ramifications for the Authority and they have suspended most activities as part of their response until the issue has been clarified in the Supreme Court.
The hearing has been nominally set for June 2010 with a formal judgement expected circa October 2010.
Training funding is still available but limited and on a first come first served basis. For those requiring training for the Under 16.5 meter ticket we urge they make appliaction to us as soon as possible. |
