THE town of St Andrews is used to welcoming visitors from all over the world, and last month it hosted another big event.
This time, though, it was not a golf tournament that drew an international crowd to Scotland but the Responsible Seafood Summit, co-hosted by the Global Seafood Alliance and Seafood Scotland.
The summit covered a host of topics on the theme of sustainable seafood, covering catch fishing and aquaculture, and provided a unique forum for the exchange of ideas, experiences and insights. Fish Farmer’s report on the summit appears in this issue.
Oban, on Scotland’s west coast, was the venue for the Association of Scottish Shellfish Growers’ annual conference and this too was an opportunity to talk about the challenges and opportunities for the shellfish farming sector, and you can also read about that in the November magazine.
