This book explores the challenges and opportunities facing the contemporary seafood industry. These issues are told through the lives of the fishers and fish farmers who provide the seafood that we eat as well as the many other stakeholders who are working with the industry to make it more sustainable.
Born into a fishing family, John was raised in the fishing village of Hamnavoe in the Shetland Islands. When at university, he spent every summer holiday as a crew member on board local boats. Beginning his career working for the Shetland Fishermen’s Association, he was responsible for several important fisheries management initiatives.
He then became a fish farmer—owning and managing his own business, farming organic salmon and halibut. After selling this company, John worked for some years as a senior fisheries advisor to Prince Charles’ International Sustainability Unit. In this role, he was called on to provide advice and leadership on a variety of global fisheries and aquaculture initiatives.
John is currently employed as an expert advisor for two seafood investment funds.

The World's Oldest Boat Race - Doggett's Coat and Badge
2025-01-30 20:00 - 22:00
Since 1715, the Race for Doggett’s Coat and Badge has been passionately rowed by apprentice river workers on the Thames. It is believed to be the oldest continually competed sporting event in the world. Despite its fascinating history, little of Doggett’s is documented and it has long been overshadowed by the much more famous Oxford-Cambridge Boat Race.
With an introduction from Celia Holman – who assisted the Thames Festival Trust on this project back in 2018 – this 30-minute documentary brings to life a hidden history at the very heart of London, passed down through generations of Thames Waterman.
We follow Alfie and George in the lead up to the 2018 race, and interview past winners and competitors who tell us the coveted race’s history and the fierce rivalries and family traditions that have ensured it has continued for so many years
