Richard Stride

I represent the views of fishermen within the Southern Sea Fishery District covering Dorset, Hampshire and the Isle of Wight. I am an inshore static gear fishermen based at Mudeford in Dorset and chairman of the South Coast Fishermen's Council. I returned to fishing 16 years ago after a career in inshore fisheries development which involved a variety of roles in small scale fisheries development in Latin America and Africa.
