The Lyme Bay Fisherman’s CIC is a not-for-profit organisation made up of fishermen from the four ports of Axmouth, Beer, Lyme Regis, and West Bay. Our mission is to support coastal communities and champion the inshore fishing industry across Lyme Bay. Through our Fisheries Education Outreach Programme, we engage children and the general public in learning about sustainable fishing methods and the diverse species of fish and shellfish found in Lyme Bay. We bring the sea to life through hands-on experiences and storytelling that connect people to the heritage and future of our local fisheries. In addition to education, we run community seafood trails and scavenger hunts. Fun, interactive experiences that invite families and visitors to explore our ports, discover local seafood, and meet the people behind the catch. These trails celebrate our coastal culture, promote local businesses, and foster a deeper appreciation for the role of inshore fishermen in preserving marine ecosystems. Together, these initiatives form a vibrant tapestry of outreach, education, and community connection. Anchored in the values of sustainability, tradition, and local pride.
The primary stakeholders of the Lyme Bay Fisherman’s CIC are the fishermen working across the four ports of Axmouth, Beer, Lyme Regis, and West Bay. Their voices shape the direction of the CIC, and they are regularly consulted on matters affecting the organisation and the wider fishing community. Over the past year, the CIC held four stakeholder meetings, providing a platform for open dialogue, feedback, and collaborative decision-making. To ensure accessibility for all members, especially those unable to attend in person, the CIC invested in a web camera system that enabled remote participation. Meeting minutes were shared via email and are also available in the private members’ area, ensuring transparency and continued engagement. Feedback received during these meetings is proactively reviewed and acted upon by the CIC’s management team, reinforcing our commitment to inclusive and responsive governance.
