We support the introduction of conservation measures that reduce by-catch of certain vulnerable species.
There are many reasons that one can say fish sourced from local Cornish vessels is sustainable. For instance, a revolutionary conservation device called a ‘Pinger’, an electronic sonar emitter, has been introduced and applied throughout the Cornish fishing fleets where appropriate. Such devices are effectively increasing dolphin’s awareness when a fishing net is present and as a result, minimising the risk of dolphins being caught by accident.
