Description

In this very unique episode, we head out into the beautiful Sound of Skye on a creel fishing boat with Bally Philp - a fisherman in Northwest Scotland known for his dedication to sustainable fishing practices and marine conservation. He is the chair of the Scottish Creel Fishermen's Federation, and one of the founding members of the Scottish Entanglement Alliance, with a passion for cetaceans (whales, dolphins and porpoises) and advancing fishing practices to protect them from harm.

We talk about what sustainability in fishing actually means, advances in technology, and whether or not they can prevent marine mammal entanglement in Scotland's fishing fleet.
