UK Fisheries Economist Network (UKFEN)
The United Kingdom Fisheries Economists Network (UKFEN) was established in 2011 to enable economists and social scientists to come together and discuss common areas of work, current and emerging sector challenges, and their recent outputs.
There is no fee for membership, and no obligation to participate in meetings.
Our network aspires to improve the overall capacity in the UK for informing decisions with robust scientific data, analysis, and advice. Annual meetings of this network took place until March 2020, when Covid-19 emerged, and will resume in January 2023.
Minutes and agendas for previous meetings are available on request.
UKFEN Members and contacts
To secure the services of a fisheries economist or analyst or to discuss potential research you can contact members directly. To circulate an invitation to tender for a consulting project to all commercial members of UKFEN contact Economics@Seafish.co.uk
