new series of community engagement films entitled “Lead, Champion, Protect.”
15 Years of Service and Stewardship For the past 15 years, NIFCA’s Members have been at the heart of the Authority, contributing their time and expertise to help shape the sustainable management of our inshore fisheries. Through their commitment, knowledge and stewardship, Members have played an invaluable role in guiding the work of the Authority and supporting balanced decision-making across the district. As we mark this milestone anniversary, we extend our sincere thanks to all Members who have served on the NIFCA Authority, whose dedication and support have shaped NIFCA into the organisation it is today.
These films not only raise awareness of the varied work undertaken by IFCAs nationwide but also improve transparency by sharing real-life stories and outcomes. They illustrate how local expertise and stakeholder involvement are essential in shaping regional policy and ensuring the sustainable management of marine resources.
