just post-Equinox Shellfish event. Here is someone else’s words and you can read more about this, who was involved and what went on in Tidelines blogs
“The feeling of community. Sharing a common aim to build a more ecologically sound present and future. Diverse people stepping up, wanting to be involved in making a difference.”
“Anne Marie’s film, Emma’s song interspersed within conversation. These artistic moments feel instrumental to being in a creative space as well as a thoughtful reflective scientific activist environmental awareness space. To create space for contemplation and quiet and emotions.”
We’ve now had three Meet Your Wild Neighbours sessions in Plymouth with Take A Part. This month we visited the Fish Quay with Ed Baker, Plymouth Fishing and Seafood Association and learnt about the long history of fishing in Plymouth and the changing species swimming around and visiting our shores and trends and patterns in fishing in a climate changing world. We met a fisher, fish merchants and one of the Harbour Master team. We studied some of the fish through careful looking and drawing blind.  Max from OPE cafe cooked us a cracking lunch with some of the locally caught fish. New time we’ll touch on different marine habitats and interactions between species around Plymouth Sound.
Today I have learnt historical, political and artistic reflections on the fishing industry. The main reflection is sustainability – fish, fishermen, environment, economy and how beautiful the markings on the mackerel – drawing without seeing – priceless.
