The Home and Dry campaign, which first launched in 2020 to improve fishing safety and reduce the number of fatalities in the industry, has produced a series of excellent safety videos which we will be posting here over the next few weeks - do please share with colleagues.

Good to see early progress on our new HQ, which will also house the Scottish Seafood Centre of Excellence here in Fraserburgh. As well as our administrative and corporate functions, there will be space in the new two-storey building for training activity on safety, performance and resource efficiency. We hope also to attract UK-hosted international fisheries meeting and delegations. #fisheries #scottishfisheries @Aberdeenshire
