The first recognition for good catch management has reached the right hands. The crew of Skúli ST-75 sent us nice pictures of how they handle fish.
Beautiful fish - well done fathers!
When the father and son Haraldur Vignir Ingólfsson and Ingólfur Árni Haraldsson on Skúli ST-75 from Drangsnes arrived in the harbor yesterday, their stronghold was waiting with Már Ólafsson, board member of the National Association of Small Boat Owners (LS) and Smábátafélagið Ströndur at the forefront. The occasion was to present them with a prize for the best footage of the month of May in "Beautiful fishLS and Matís' efforts. They were rewarded with the abandonment of a GoPro camera, along with a certificate of recognition.
Ingólfur Árni and Haraldur Vignir receive prizes from Már Ólafsson.
The campaign "Beautiful fish" is intended to promote increased awareness of the importance of good catch management and how important it is to practice good workmanship. By mobilizing fishermen in sharing pictures and stories where things are going well, LS and Matís hope to be able to do the best they can and at the same time encourage others to do the same.
With this recognition, LS and Matís want to increase awareness of the importance of good catch management and how important it is to pursue good work practices.
Sailors are encouraged to post photos and stories on the campaign's Facebook, Instagram or Twitter pages and get in the "pot" for the next award ceremony.
Dear sailors: please send in pictures that show exemplary workmanship, because the prize for the best pictures is not of the worse end.
