 States of Guernsey: Sea Fisheries: Best practice Codes and Guernsey Fresh Catch Consultation
In 2001 following representations from industry regarding a lack of accessible ice facilities at St Peter Port harbour and falling fish prices, the department initiated a project in conjunction with the Board of Industry, environmental health officers and various industry experts in an effort to address these issues.
The aim of the project was to develop a strategy for the Guernsey fishing industry designed to improve the quality and value of all commercially exploited fish species within the Bailiwick, and to ensure that fish exports continue to exceed minimum EU quality standards, thereby safeguarding access to valuable European markets.
If you are involved in the industry and you would like a copy of the consultation document then please do not hesitate to contact Roger Sendall at the Sea Fisheries Department 234567.
