Sea Safety
Fishing remains one of the most challenging jobs in the UK. We play our part to make sure fishermen get the support they need to come home.
Our work with trusted organisations
Good safety practice saves lives. That i’s why we support and promote Home and Dry, the UK-wide fishing safety campaign. We also support resources made in partnership with government and industry partners.
Getting back #HomeAndDry
As supporters of the Fishing Industry Safety Group, we support Home and Dry. This programme shares practical, experience-based guidance for anyone who owns, works on, or supports a commercial fishing vessel.
Home and Dry gives fishermen information on:
Health, safety, and wellbeing directory for Welsh fishermen
Working at sea brings unique challenges, and it is important that fishermen and their families can easily find the support they need. During Welsh Government-funded roadshow events, fishermen told us they needed one clear place to access information on available services: from safety training to financial help.
Seafish facilitated the creation of this new directory with funding from the Welsh Government and input from the WFA, Seafarers Hospital Society and us here at the Fishermen’s Mission.
It brings trusted organisations together in one place to help commercial fishermen and their families across Wales.
Inside the directory, you will find information on:
- training and safety guidance for working at sea
- physical and mental health services
- well‑being support for you and your family
- financial advice, including help to access grants
Fishermen can use the directory to quickly find organisations and contacts that can support them and their families throughout their fishing career.

Cyfeiriadur iechyd, diogelwch a lles ar gyfer pysgotwyr Cymru
Mae gweithio ar y môr yn dod â heriau unigryw, ac mae’n bwysig bod pysgotwyr a’u teuluoedd yn gallu dod o hyd i’r cymorth sydd ei angen arnynt yn hawdd. Yn ystod digwyddiadau sioe deithiol a ariennir gan Lywodraeth Cymru, dywedodd pysgotwyr wrthym fod angen un lle clir arnynt i gael gafael ar wybodaeth am y gwasanaethau sydd ar gael: o hyfforddiant diogelwch i gymorth ariannol.
Hwylusodd Seafish y gwaith o greu’r cyfeiriadur newydd hwn gyda chyllid gan Lywodraeth Cymru a mewnbwn gan Gymdeithas Pysgotwyr Cymru (WFA), y Seafarers Hospital Society a ni yma yn yr Fishermen’s Mission.
Mae’n dod â sefydliadau dibynadwy at ei gilydd mewn un lle i helpu pysgotwyr masnachol a’u teuluoedd ledled Cymru.
Y tu mewn i’r cyfeiriadur, fe welwch wybodaeth am:
- hyfforddiant a chanllawiau diogelwch o ran gweithio ar y môr
- gwasanaethau iechyd corfforol a meddyliol
- cymorth lles i chi a’ch teulu
- cyngor ariannol, gan gynnwys cymorth i gael gafael ar grantiau
Gall pysgotwyr ddefnyddio’r cyfeiriadur i ddod o hyd i sefydliadau a chysylltiadau sy’n gallu eu cefnogi nhw a’u teuluoedd trwy gydol eu gyrfa bysgota.

Your support can make a difference
Fishermen work in some of the toughest conditions in the country. Our work can give them the support they need to be safe at sea. But we cannot do it without you.
