2025 was a big year – busy, demanding, and full of hairy moments that reminded us why your support matters. From regional fisheries issues to national campaigns, from policy rooms to fishing clubs and on and in the water, the year was about the same goal we keep coming back to: healthier oceans, fairer access, and more fish in the water for everyone.

This is a snapshot of what that looked like in practice – the projects, the people, the pressure applied, the successes and the setbacks, and the momentum that’s been building across communities, fisheries, and public support. It’s not everything, but it’s a good recap on a year spent pushing for abundance and positive change.
