Abstract
ABOUT six years ago the Lancashire Sea Fisheries Committee instituted practical classes fur the instruction of local fishermen in the natural history of the common marine edible animals. “Technical education” in the strict sense of the word was not the object aimed at. For some time previously the committee had experienced considerable difficulty in enforcing the restrictions on methods of fishing contained in their by-laws on acrount of the determined opposition of the fishermen, and the object of the classes was rather to remove this opposition by showing the rationale of the by-laws, and to create n common ground on which both officers and fishermen could meet. The committee had no funds which they could apply to this work, and the classes were only made possible by the cooperation of the Technical Instruction Committee of the Lancashire County Council, which made an annual grant of 250l. to be spent for this purpose.
