RNLI handed floatation devices to Fishermen in Weymouth
THE RNLI handed out 78 personal floatation devices to fishermen in Weymouth.
The presentation was made at a special evening at Weymouth Angling Club.
Funding for the devices was provided from the European Fisheries Fund by the Marine Management Organisation, with match funding provided by Seafish and the maritime charity Seafarers UK.
The RNLI said that they are available to all existing commercial fishermen.
To sign up for one, fishermen should contact the RNLI.
They will need to fill out an application, bringing with them photo ID and vessel details.
