Fishery Improvement Projects (FIPs) bring together the private and public sectors in a multi-stakeholder initiative, to address environmental challenges in specific fisheries. These fisheries are selected by the supply chain because of their commercial, economic, and cultural benefits. FIPs are designed to address multiple milestones across a five-year period, and to represent best practice in working towards an environmentally sustainable future.
This Common Language Group online bite-size meeting will look at the FIPs within Project UK and the role of the market in creating these FIPs. It will focus on the FIPs that are approaching their end point to look at the measure of success, and the next steps if a FIP has not fully delivered in the timeframe, especially in terms of how this influences sourcing policies. It will also look at the future developments.

Seafood Issues Groups
The CLG is one of a number of Seafish-facilitated discussion forums which focus on the integrity of the seafood supply chain. These groups provide a discussion platform for some of the most important issues facing the seafood industry, particularly in relation to the responsible sourcing of seafood. They are an opportunity for all those involved in the seafood supply chain to reach a consensus on common issues.
