In partnership with the Marine Institute, we actively participate in scientific surveys and conservation measures. One initiative sees us voluntarily stepping back from fishing on the Porcupine Bank for a five-month period, giving female Langoustines the vital time they need to spawn.

This effort helps the Marine Institute demonstrate that, with careful management and controlled fishing, Langoustine stocks can be protected and strengthened for the future. Our Co-Ops are active members of Fishery Improvement Programmes (FIPs) — industry-led, collaborative initiatives that enhance the sustainability of key species such as Langoustines, Haddock and Hake.

Each programme is independently audited and validated, ensuring genuine progress towards a sustainable future. For our customers, this means a reliable, traceable supply today — without compromising the fishery of tomorrow. Visit www.bim.ie for more details.
