Due to covid we can no longer visit sites for face to face interviews, but we'd still like to hear from the women of fishing communities past and present. If you are from Buckie or North East Scotland, or East Anglia, please consider taking part in phone or online video interviews and share your experiences with us. We can arrange for a time that suits you.

Due to covid restrictions we've had to stop face to face interviews. So if you used to be a fisherman or know someone who was, please do get in contact for a phone or online interview. We'd love to her your story. Data collection ends in December.
