The Cornish Fish Producers Organisation (CFPO) has been granted an Objective One fisheries grant to set up a website.

The website will promote fish; the fishing industry as a career and provide information on the Cornish fishing industry. In addition it is hoped the website will stimulate ideas on all areas of fishing, including conservation measures.

The website will help promote fish in general and specific fish, currently under exploited in the UK such as Megrim, Pilchards and Pollack. This starts with a megrim recipe provided for the website by Rick Stein.

The website will assist the CFPO contact its 210 members, which is often difficult as they are fishing, and give the fishermen a portal to access fisheries departments and government agencies.

Alison Elvey, Objective One Fisheries Programme Manager stated, "The more the fishing industry can use IT to promote itself and encourage people to eat fish the better. Lots of people are interested in the Cornish fishing industry but don’t know where to go for information. This website will provide a starting point to bring fish closer to the general public."
