South Korean delegation at Peterhead Office

Marine Scotland Compliance officers in Peterhead had a busy week last week. As well as their normal duties, they were involved with the launch of the new Peterhead Harbour Experience, then they welcomed a delegation of five South Korean fisheries colleagues.

The visitors were keen to learn more about how fisheries enforcement is managed in Scotland and their trip has also included a visit to fisheries authorities in Norway.

After two days fact finding in Peterhead, the delegation made their way to Marine Scotland’s Heaquarters in Edinburgh where they found out more about Marine Scotland’s Enforcement role, including how elogbooks and Vessel Monitoring Systems work and the role of the UK Fisheries Monitoring Centre. They also had the opportunity to visit the Marine Protection vessel Jura and join in with the Weekly Coastal Brief, where all 18 Coastal Offices and the three Marine Protection Vessels review business activities across the past week.
