Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ep 115. The Future of UK Seafood Starts Here
Q: What role do SMEs play in export promotion and how is Seafish helping them?
Colin notes that SMEs often need help accessing export markets and that Seafish collaborates with DEFRA and partner bodies to design programs that upskill SMEs, simplify regulatory navigation, and extend support as they grow to stand on their own.
Ep 115. The Future of UK Seafood Starts Here
Q: How does Seafish decide its priority areas?
Priorities are driven by where Seafish has expertise and where the industry sees importance; they focus on three outcomes—safe and skilled workforce, freer trade in seafood, and a more resilient supply chain—while staying responsive to industry feedback via sector panels and advisory committees.
Ep 115. The Future of UK Seafood Starts Here
Q: What are your top priorities for Seafish in the near term?
Colin emphasizes maximizing Seafish's contribution to a healthy UK seafood sector, being a go-to source for data and analysis, improving how they communicate their value to levy payers, and helping the industry with safety, training, and navigating regulatory and trade landscapes.
Ep 113. Rethinking Fisheries Management
Q: What is the core flaw of the current EU Common Fisheries Policy according to the guest?
The guest argues that the policy is overly complex and top-down, relying on extensive micromanagement and control that fail to reflect the reality at sea, which reduces data quality and trust between managers and fishers.
Ep 109. The Reality of Sustainable Aquaculture
Q: What does sustainability mean at Baja Aqua Farms on a day-to-day basis?
Sustainability is framed around responsible use of natural resources, maintaining ecosystem health, and ensuring future resource availability, while aligning with Brundtland principles and focusing on welfare and ecosystem services.
