Innovations in the North Sea fisheries
On November 6 and 7, 2009, more than one hundred and twenty fishermen, policy makers and scientists came together in Rotterdam to discuss how to improve the innovations in the fishery sector. The aim was to exchange ideas and challenges between the individual countries Norway, Denmark, Germany, the United Kingdom, Belgium and The Netherlands.
At the meeting participants agreed there is an urgent need to develop their fisheries innovation agendas and how fishermen innovate their fisheries. Thirteen fishermen presented their practical experiences to fellow fishermen and policy makers. They concluded that the access to novel approaches, technologies and ideas is the only way to transform into a sustainable, socially responsible industry sector.
