NameMallaig & North West Fishermens Association
DescriptionMallaig & North-West Fishermen’s Association (MNWFA) was founded in 1947 “to allow fishermen of Mallaig and the North West Coast to make contact with other fishermen and Fisheries Boards and to have a voice in the affairs of the industry”. (Extract from the original Minute recorded at the formation of the Association). At that time membership was comprised almost entirely of local herring boats. With the subsequent demise in the 1970s of the West Coast herring fishery, boats in the 40-60 foot size range turned to prawn and whitefish trawling. Today, MNWFA is one of the largest fishermen’s trade associations in the UK. Membership of the Association is now comprised from all sectors of the industry from one-man creel boat operations through to large offshore whitefish trawlers. Equal attention is paid to the needs of all members. The Association has a small full time administration team and is run by an elected General Committee of skipper/owners from which a Chairman and Vice-Chairman are also elected. In addition, the Association has a limited company with an elected Chairman and Board of Directors, which administers the commercial aspects of the Association’s work. MNWFA was a founder member of the Scottish Fishermen’s Federation (the political side of the industry) and some Association members are also in membership of the Scottish Fishermen’s Organisation (the marketing side of the industry), which was also partly funded by MNWFA. Through these bodies we influence – as best we can- fishing policies, licensing etc relevant to our area. Several of the members are also in the West of Scotland Fish Producers’ Organisation, of which MNWFA were the instigators.
