DEVON YOUNG FISHERS - Community Interest Company
OUR MISSION
Devon Young Fishers CIC is dedicated to securing the future of the UK’s fishing industry by
providing young people (particularly those from underrepresented backgrounds) with
training, mentorship, and hands-on experiences in sustainable fishing.
​
Without the next generation of fishers, the fishing industry won’t survive into the future.
Why
This
Matters
​Aging Workforce: Many experienced fishers are retiring, and fewer young people are
entering the profession.
Limited Entry Pathways: Traditional apprenticeships are rare, leaving young fishers without a clear route into the industry.
Lack of Diversity: Women and individuals from low-income backgrounds face significant barriers.
Sustainability: Fishing practices must evolve to meet environmental standards.
MEET THE CREW
The Devon Young Fishers Team is passionate about catching and developing the next generation of fishers. Supporting them on their fishing journey and ensuring the future of the UK fishing industry thrives for years to come!
