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.

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.
