Show Notes

Our second flash episode sees us talking to Duncan MacInnes from the Western Isles Fishermen’s Association. We chat to Duncan about how the new Marine Fund Scotland is helping young Scottish fishermen buy fishing vessels, and how this could help revitalise Scotland’s fishing industry. Duncan also talks about the history of funding and cooperation in his region, and we consider whether these models could be emulated elsewhere in the UK.
