Development Strategy
(SIDS) – 2 years on
Dr Tom Pickerell
Director - SAGB
Outline
• What is SIDS?
• What have we done in 2 years?
• Year 3+ plans
SIDS
• “Seafish-funded, SAGB-facilitated project
aiming to sustainably develop the UK wildcaught & cultivated shellfish industries”
• Recognised by Defra in their 2009/09
Marine Programme Plan as a “Priority
Project” for achieving their 2027 Fisheries
Vision
“should focus on support
for the development of
the inshore/shellfish
industry to take
advantage of its large
growth opportunities”

Shellfish: tasty, sustainable and healthy
The Food Standards Agency says that if you want to eat healthily you should cut down on fat (especially saturated fat), salt and added sugars.
Many supermarkets are using traffic light indicators on their packaging to help you make informed choices about healthy eating. These use the
simple red, amber and green system to show whether the food has high, medium or low amounts of fat, saturated fat, sugars and salt.

The ‘traffic lights’ below have been created for the most popular shellfish in the UK and demonstrate how a portion of shellfish (100g) can
contribute to a healthy diet.

• Pacific oysters
• Adaptive Management Protocol for EMS
Progress to Date
• SIDS 3 year goal is 10% increase in volume &
value
• Productions figures from 2008 show a
combined wild-caught & cultivated shellfish
increase in value to £297m and volume to
180,500 tonnes
• 13% and 9% increases from 2006 respectively
Year 3 Plans
•
•
•
•
Funding runs out in August 2010
Sylvette Peplowski new SIDS manager
Complete ongoing SIDS projects
Begin new projects:
•
•
•
•
•
•
Traffic Light “ice labels”
Cooked oyster recipes
5 further films
Shellfish “Speed Dating”
Further factsheets (RYA & Supermarkets/Grade B)
Gigas ‘summit’
Year 3+ Plans
• Emerging issues include:
•
•
•
•
•
•
Climate change & Ocean acidification
Role of shellfish in Food Security
Developments
Food vs Environment
Role of shellfish in healthy eating debate
Water Quality (SWD, viruses)
• To complex for industry to act alone
• Need Government backing
Take Home Message
• SIDS has made positive steps towards stated
aim & goals
• Further work is needed
• Cross Government support required if shellfish
production potential is to be realised
