The three year project is the first within a wider initiative, led by WWF-UK, the National Federation of Fishermen's Organisations and Marks & Spencer, which aims to agree the measures needed to best sustain fish stocks within the region (Celtic Sea, English Channel and Western Approaches), considerate of the regional economy, local communities and the wider marine environment.

Invest in Fish South West appreciates that in order for its strategy to work it must first be accepted at the grassroots level of each sector. The project, therefore, takes a bottom-up approach, meaning its final strategy will include options which are embraced by and not imposed upon those it ultimately affects.

It will draw £1.6 million of funding from public and private funds. It is hoped that the South West pilot project will provide an example for similar projects elsewhere in the UK and Europe.
