They will be of interest to:

The events will be held:

You can turn up at any time during these periods to chat to IFCA officers, who will be there to give some updates on the fisheries, including future initiatives around improving the prospects for young people entering the fisheries. It will also be a chance for stakeholders to ask questions and make suggestions on how best to manage the fisheries going forward. Officers will also be on hand to provide guidance for fishers using the IFCA’s new permit database.
