Earning qualifications
The Introduction to Commercial Fishing course received funding from Seafish Authority and the Marine Management Organisation.
The free course, which would normally have cost participants £500, gave candidates the chance to receive the mandatory certificates required to go to sea as a fisherman, such as sea survival, fire-fighting, first aid and health and safety.
