We are shining the spotlight on our most northerly member body - The Shetland Fishermen's Association (SFA), which is a dynamic force representing over 100 members. Dedicated to voicing the interests of the Shetland fishing community, the SFA plays a pivotal role in local and national political arenas, ensuring the voices of fishers are heard.

It is committed to fostering training opportunities for both established and aspiring fishermen at UHI Shetland's Scalloway campus and provides essential support through a group life assurance scheme.

As a testament to collaborative success, the relationship between the SFA and Shetland Islands Council is good. Working in unison on national and international platforms, they showcase how regulatory changes can affect not only the fishing industry but the broader community. A third of the Shetland economy is accounted for by fisheries and aquaculture.

Fraserburgh skipper Mark Robertson warns "it's scary" how much sea fishermen are losing access to. He says:

“To keep people out of areas they have traditionally fished in for years is an absolute shambles. Between HPMAs, MPAs, wind farms, closed areas. I mean, how much sea are we actually losing? It's scary, it's really scary, because there's not a lot of areas inside twelve miles that you can actually work in.”
