Guidance Note - Protected Wildlife Sites

There are more than 7000 protected wildlife sites in the UK, and many of these extend to the coast and inshore waters. • Some fishing activities may not have a significant impact on wildlife, some might need to be restricted in certain areas, but if so, it may be possible to find wildlife-friendly ways to keep working. • Breaking wildlife laws can result in a criminal prosecution and a fine of up to £20,000. • This Guidance Note will tell you about the protected wildlife sites in the UK, and how to work with the authorities to stay the right side of the law.

An Assessment of the Impact of Selected Fishing Activities on European Marine Sites and a Review of Mitigation Measures

The report summarised here has been commissioned by the Sea Fish Industry Authority (SEAFISH) with the aim of determining the potential impact of fisheries on EMS interest features and site integrity in relation to their conservation objectives.

A feasibility study of native oyster (Ostrea edulis) stock regeneration in the United Kingdom

Throughout much of the UK, the native oyster remains in a severely depleted state in the wild, having suffered for two centuries with over-exploitation, pests, disease, pollution and harsh winters. The native oyster is a Biodiversity Action Plan Species. Native oyster beds can form a flourishing part of the ecosystem, with many associated species. A significant driver for restoration of native oyster beds should therefore be re-creating and conserving an ecological resource in order to re-establish a biotope that was once common and covered wide areas of the UK inshore seabed.

Ecosystem Services, Goods and Benefits Derived From UK Commercially Important Shellfish

Ecosystem services, goods & benefits encompass the food, raw materials, clean air & water that nature provides. This review summarises our knowledge of the ecosystem services provided by commercially important shellfish such as molluscs & crustaceans.

Project Inshore - Stage 3 project update March 2015

This document outlines the Project Inshore work through the four stages which progress from a broad overview of English inshore fisheries to strategic targeted action plans.

Good Manufacturing Practice Guidance - Shellfish Cooking

This document provides guidance to seafood processors on good manufacturing practice (GMP) for shellfish cooking ashore. Its purpose is to help both small and larger businesses produce safe, high quality products. It is targeted at the needs of processors carrying out basic cooking operations.

Use of waste as a biofuel and fertiliser in Orkney_C008

Shellfish processors want simple, local, cost-effective solutions for managing shellfish waste. Anaerobic digestion (AD) has been identified as a potential solution for shellfish waste treatment. The process produces methane which can be used to generate energy and digestate (fertiliser) which has applications in agriculture and horticulture. Heat and Power Ltd. were part funded by Seafish to evaluate the potential of AD as a solution for Orkney based shellfish and food processors. The main aims of the project were to consider whether AD could reduce commercial waste disposal costs and establish a sustainable waste management solution for the island. It included a small-scale batch digester trial on crab shells. This report summarises AD technology, suitable food wastes in Orkney and results of a small-scale batch trial on crab processing waste.
