The SAGB is the Shellfish industry’s trade body and we are based at Fishmongers’ Hall, which is also home to the Worshipful Company of Fishmongers, in the City of London. Shellfish farmers, groups of fishermen, commercial traders and companies, the Seafish Industry Authority, consultants and many of the Sea Fisheries Committees are members.
The range of species marketed and activities covered have extended gradually in our 100 plus years of service to the industry and we now cover everything from mussels to lobsters, and crayfish to geoducks.
The association provides support on various topics of interest to the UK Shellfish industry, which is the most valuable component of the UK seafood industry.
We provide technical advice and mediate in a range of environmental issues ranging from coastal pollution, aggregate dredging and stock conservation. Furthermore we maintain a working relationship with many important conservation agencies and government departments.
