Agreement formalises long-term collaboration between government, industry and science to support sustainable pelagic fisheries in Scotland

A Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) and Data Sharing Agreement has been signed between Scottish Government Ministers, acting through the Marine Directorate, the Scottish Pelagic Fishermen’s Association (SPFA) and UHI Shetland to coordinate the Scottish Pelagic Industry Science Data Collection Programme (SPISDCP).

The SPISDCP is a project established to collect data for the provision of information on commercial pelagic catches, supporting stock assessment and research to improve understanding of pelagic fisheries and stocks.

The MoU provides a framework for the three parties to work collaboratively on all aspects of the design, planning, implementation and reporting of SPISDCP, as well as scientific publications arising from this work. The MoU and Data Sharing Agreement will run until the end of 2030, when they will be reviewed.

Dr Steven Mackinson, Chief Scientific Officer for the SPFA, said: “This agreement is a very important milestone for the sampling programme because it formalises the commitments involved in the project and provides a sound base for developing future collaborative work.”

Matthew Gubbins, Senior Delivery Lead for Sea Fisheries at the Marine Directorate of the Scottish Government, said: “This agreement ensures a reliable long-term supply of high-quality industry data to support the sustainable management of Scotland’s pelagic fisheries. It underscores our commitment to working with industry partners as we continue to gather robust data to support evidence-based management.”

Dr Katie Brigden, Pelagic Fisheries Scientist at UHI Shetland, said: “The SPISDCP demonstrates the contribution which industry can make to science and the value of collaborative industry-science working, and this agreement further strengthens the work being undertaken and its future development.”
