Mission

A sustainable marine economy.

Our mission statement

We support the fishers and growers who work Jersey's waters, so that more of the island's seafood is caught, farmed and enjoyed here, sustainably and profitably.

Marine Jersey administer the Marine Support Scheme for marine businesses, share practical guidance, and connect producers with the organisations, markets and skills they need to grow.

Sustainable stocks

Backing responsible fishing and shellfish farming that protects habitats and keeps our waters productive for the next generation.

Resilient businesses

Funding and advice that help marine businesses invest, diversify and sell more of their catch directly to islanders.

Skilled workforce

Apprenticeships, training and clear routes into careers at sea, so the industry has the people it needs.

Healthy waters

Our tides are an asset worth protecting.

Jersey's vast tidal range creates rich grounds for shellfish and inshore fishing. We work with growers, researchers and regulators so that what we take from the sea is matched by how well we look after it.

Shorter supply chains mean fresher food and fairer prices. Our toolkits help fishers sell direct, and the Jersey Seafood brand helps customers recognise local catch.
