This Autumn MHN makes its first visit to Fleetwood, centre of the North West Fishing Industry. Following on from the Spring Conference in Hull (but standing on its own merits) they look at the relationship the Fishing Industry has with the local community, the more recent developments in the trade and the impact of UK and EU legislation on the industry together with an update on training and opportunities for seafarers.
