Fisheries APPG

First Registered: 30/07/2015 • Last updated on: 07/05/2025

The APPG aims to support and promote a sustainable and thriving UK fishing industry in Parliament and encourage discussion, debate and learning around key questions for the future of the fishing industry, processing sector, coastal communities and the marine environment.

Note: All-Party Parliamentary Groups (APPGs) are informal, cross-party groups formed by MPs and Members of the House of Lords who share a common interest in a particular policy area, region or country. APPGs have no official status within Parliament.
