Fathom: getting below the surface of the UK fishing industry.
There is so much more to fishing than just catching fish. Through real conversations with real fishermen, fishing experts and the people who write the rules, we'll help you navigate complex fishing regulations, be more safety-aware, keep up to date on market trends and much more. We'll also be scouring the UK coast for amazing stories from fishing families - connecting you to harbours, boats, and people, around the country. Fathom is brought to you by the Cornish Fish Producers' Organisation and funded by The Seafarers' Charity.

Fathom 12: The nuts & bolts of the Fisheries Response Fund
"The information that everyone wants to know: how much, how many, and when?"
When Tom McCormack offered an interview with his top MMO team to give us the 'intricate' details of the Fisheries Respond Fund, we couldn't say no. So, here it is, the second Fathom episode of the week. If you want to listen to our interview on Wednesday with Fisheries Minister, Victoria Prentis, click here.
Tom McCormack returns to Fathom with his Finance Director, Michelle Willis and Operations Director, Phil Haslam. Tom, Michelle, and Phil discuss the details fishermen want to know: who is eligible for the fund and how and when fishermen will receive their money.
If you are eligible for the financial support the MMO will contact you and invite you to apply. It is a simple application process. If you haven't had your invite from the MMO by the beginning of May, and you think you are eligible, you should get in contact with the MMO directly.
