The Objective One Fisheries Task Force was set up to encourage the development of projects that will support the needs of the fisheries sector within the Objective One Programme for Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly.

The Task Force has prepared a Strategy which provides a framework to help guide project applicants and appraisers alike, as well as attracting additional sources of funding for projects outside the scope of the Objective One Fisheries Programme. The Strategy can be accessed via this website.

The sectors contributing to and benefiting from this Strategy include private companies; public authorities, fishing communities, fishermen’s organisations, associations and co-operatives; and training establishments.

The mission of the Objective One Fisheries Task Force is:

“To ensure the long term economic viability and sustainability of the region’s fishing industry and fishing communities and to increase the value of fish to Cornwall by 40%.”

Within the Strategy, the fishing industry has identified seven sectors, which require development and change over the next few years (until 2010).

Sustainability
Training
Information
Marketing / Promotion
Quality
Infrastructure
Tourism / Public Awareness

To meet some of the needs of the seven sectors, the Fisheries Task Force has identified eight key strategic projects.
