Cywain Fisheries, a groundbreaking project to boost the fortunes of the fishing industry in Wales is leading the way among its European counterparts bringing security and jobs to the sector.
Set up in 2011 by Menter a Busnes, and jointly funded by the European Fisheries Fund (EFF) and Welsh Government, Cywain Fisheries helps the fishing sector add value to primary produce and developing new products or markets.
Its package of support, and the way in which it is delivered, has been lauded as unique with no comparable scheme available anywhere else in Europe, and as such has the potential to act as a sectoral hub for all types of fisheries development activity.
