The aim of this is to improve the management of shellfish stocks in area, enabling future generations to benefit from a resource that remains of vital importance to this island community.<\/p>\n<p>The Pilot is also testing one possible approach to a low-cost vessel tracking solution for small inshore fishing vessels. This is being trialled aboard 40 vessels and builds on the <a href=\"https:\/\/masts.ac.uk\/research_projects\/scottish-inshore-fisheries-integrated-data-system-sifids-project\/?msclkid=bf4e42a0bb0b11ecbcb5ae6222137e51\">Scottish Inshore Fisheries Integrated Data System (SIFIDS)<\/a> project led by the University of St Andrews.<\/p>\n<p>Fishers in the Outer Hebrides continue to express strong support for the Pilot and are observing positive impacts on their fishing businesses.<\/p>\n<p>Donald MacLennan, a Skipper for the Valhalla based in Harris said:<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.gov.scot\/marine-scotland\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2022\/05\/Valhalla-e1652274781952.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-13302 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/blogs.gov.scot\/marine-scotland\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2022\/05\/Valhalla-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 300px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 300\/225;\" \/><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s been a challenging time in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, Brexit and the Ukraine conflict, and the rising cost of fuel, creel and nephrops\u00a0catches are particular concerns.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHowever, in spite of these challenges, the first year of the Pilot has worked fewer creels and reduced time at sea, leading to a significant improvement in our gross income.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI believe the Pilot proves that with creel fishing, less can be more.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Duncan MacInnes, Secretary of the Western Isles Fisherman\u2019s Association (WIFA), said:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Pilot has brought a sense of stability to the fleet, especially in relation to uncontrolled creel fishing.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe initial success has been encouraging to the members of WIFA and we would like to see an extension of the initiative to cover a much larger area of the Western Isles.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Pilot will continue with vessel tracking until October 2022.
