That the Parliament commends the Scottish Fishing Federation (SFF) on its new exhibition, People in Fishing, which celebrates the lives, work and heritage of those involved in Scotland’s fishing and seafood sector; recognises that the exhibition highlights the human stories behind an industry that is central to Scotland’s economy, coastal communities and cultural identity; acknowledges the importance of showcasing the contributions of fishermen, processors, families and others whose daily labour sustains a world-class fishing industry; notes that this kind of cultural work helps to build understanding and respect for the challenges and achievements of the sector, and thanks the SFF and all those involved in bringing this exhibition to life for providing a meaningful way for people to connect with and appreciate the history and ongoing significance of fishing in Scotland.
