Shellfish Industry 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” Net Benefits Why Strategy was “English” Recommendation 6 English IFWG Bannister Report Defra & Seafish • Most species can increase in volume • All species can increase in value • Most species can increase in volume • All species can increase in value • Especially cultivated Net Benefits Why Strategy was “English” Recommendation 6 English IFWG Bannister Report Defra & Seafish Strategy Report Seafish • 45 issues identified Net Benefits Why Strategy was “English” Welcomed but not endorsed By Defra Recommendation 6 English IFWG Bannister Report Defra & Seafish Strategy Report Seafish English IFWG SIDS Seafish & SAGB What have we done in 2 years?

Giving managers the ability to manage shellfisheries appropriately. Raising the profile of UK shellfish. Security of tenure Key Theme 1: Giving managers the ability to manage shellfisheries appropriately • NSRG scoping study • Management Proxies & Biological Reference Points • Permit scheme study • SFC Byelaw study • Lobster Questionnaire • Brown Crab work • Sussex Inshore Sustainability Project Key Theme 2: Raising the profile of UK shellfish • • • • • • • • • Investigate & Promote Health Benefits of Shellfish MCS ‘Fishonline’ update MSC & Shellfish cultivation Seafish Responsible Fishing Scheme Expansion Market opportunities for niche products ASC Web-based films for UK shellfish Oyster tasting guide World’s Largest Prawn Cocktail 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. Shellfish Association of Great Britain 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.
