How to get involved:
Contact Seafish to arrange a pre-audit visit by a qualified coach. Seafish will conduct this preliminary audit free of charge. The findings of this audit will be discussed fully with you.
Any non-compliant areas will be identified and remedial actions recommended. Once any non-compliant areas have been addressed, the vessel owner will arrange for an audit to be carried out by an independent certification body.
On successful completion of the audit, the vessel will be certified a responsible fishing vessel. Showing the vessel and crew are adhering to good practice and responsible fishing.
Following the successful audit visit, Seafish will reimburse 50% of the audit cost (available until December 2007).
