‘Pride in the Seas’ captures the pride of Scotland’s fishing communities and their commitment to a sustainable future.
Through Pride in the Seas, which is the first exhibition of its kind, dedicated fishermen and women, who follow generations in their family before them, speak candidly about the challenges they face. As well as diminishing access to fishing grounds, recruiting young people and preserving centuries old skills and knowledge, these challenges include public misconceptions particularly around trawling.
In their own words, they voice their commitment to responsible fishing which continues to show that fishing and marine life can successfully co-exist.
The exhibition also features scientists and analysts who are collaborating with vessel owners to develop new sustainable practices and technology.
The exhibition has been created by the Scottish Fishermen’s Federation (SFF), in partnership with renowned photographer Ian Georgeson, to encourage the public to learn more about the industry from within.
