Discard Action Group

Seafish established the Discard Action Group as an 'issue forum' to discuss and help resolve industry-wide problems.

Mike Park, Scottish White Fish Producers Association and a Seafish Board member, chairs this group which is representative of the whole seafood supply chain. The group meets three to four times a year.

The next DAG meeting is likely to be in September 2012. Anyone interested in attending should contact k_green@seafish.co.uk
