The Business of Fishing

'The Business of Fishing' aims to improve everyone's understanding of the business aspects of the UK fishing industry by showing some of the day-to-day and strategic challenges that fishing vessel owners face and how they overcome those challenges. The video shows the industry through the eyes of four different vessel owners from different fishing sectors and regions of the UK. The focus is on running a successful business while taking care of the fish stocks and the natural environment.
'The Business of Fishing' was screened for the first time at an event at the Mayfair Hotel in London on Tuesday 12 March 2013. At the screening event, the invited audience of policy makers, environmental NGOs, media and industry representatives each had the opportunity to meet vessel owners involved in the film and discuss some of the issues that it explored. A further launch event was held in Edinburgh the following week and several other screenings around the UK and in Brussels followed as popular demand grew. The film has been shown at a discussion event in the European Parliament and to DG Mare at the European Commission in Brussels, to the House of Commons all party fisheries committee in London.

I am interested in a job as a fishing fisherman because it fits with more than 10 years of work experience as an international fisherman well...can you help me get the job and how to do it.... thank you very much 

[@tedex8100]

Vote Brexit. Fuck the EU quotas.

[@eminemisdogshit4626]

Time to ban commercial fishing. Dozens of fish are thrown back dead for every fish you see in the supermarket. Maybe once the seas are empty, people will look back and ask why nothing was done

[@scottessery100]

@M S so its the spanish to blame?

[@denali9449]

And we can add one more idiot to the list of people who shoot off their mouths with no facts. Why would today's fisherman want to put himself out of work?

[@thomasharrell4683]

Not a better job you can have

[@johngy40]

Emulen2 i did deep sea fishing for over 15 years your skipper sounds like a nut job I guess you were not allowed bananas on the stores either

[@Emulen2]

@@johngy40 Ohh he was batshit crazy! Heard a story of him from many years ago where there was a leak in the engine room. instead of taking a week off to get it fixed, he just bought 2 extra pumps so they wouldent miss out on the sometimes short sand eel fishing.. But most skippers/captains from the northern end of Denmark are absolut nutcases :p

I don't get it, in the beginning they are talking about how the hours are longer and the pay is less, but in the end they say the opposite

[@boatdrawingsjsy5776]

Animal agriculture causes ocean dead zones due to overfishing, pollution and climate change which is ruining marine ecosystems. Fishing has wiped out 90% of the world's large fish. Approx. 300,000 dolphins, whales, and porpoises are killed by fishing operations every year. Fishing kills up to 30,000 sharks every hour. Dumping the fishing gear (640,000 tonnes per year) is by far the deadliest form of marine plastic. Dwarfing the straws. $35 Billion in subsidies goes to the fishing industry worldwide - paying for bigger ships, more fuel, fishing licences, and the capture of even more marine life. For comparison budget NASA is $22 billion.
