This how-to guide is the result of a shared journey-one rooted in the lived experiences of fishermen determined to take control of their future. In the following forewords, you’ll hear directly from four individuals who have played key roles in shaping the Lyme Bay Fisherman’s CIC:

Marc Newton, Chairman and Fisherman from Beer Harbour

Gavin Ziemann, Member and Fisherman from Axmouth Harbour

Nathan Cox, Member and Fisherman from Axmouth Harbour

Mandy Wolfe, Chief Executive

Each brings a unique perspective on the challenges, the purpose, and the power of creating grassroots, fishermen-led, fishermen-governed organisation.
