An Bord Iascaigh Mhara, (BIM) established under The Irish Sea Fisheries Act in 1952, is the Irish State agency responsible for developing the Irish seafood industry and operates under the aegis of the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine. BIM’s Head Office is in Dún Laoghaire, Co. Dublin. In supporting the seafood sector, BIM’s staff are also strategically located in the coastal communities which they serve, including offices in Clonakilty, Galway and Killybegs. BIM’s two National Fisheries colleges are located in Greencastle, Co. Donegal and Castletownbere, Co. Cork. With a budget of €54 million and a team of over 130 people BIM has, for the last seven decades, worked to support and develop the Irish seafood industry.
Our vision is to enable the Irish Seafood sector through our effective support and deep expertise so that Ireland becomes the international leader in high value differentiated products that satisfy the growing demand for healthy, safe, responsibly and sustainably produced seafood.
To support and enable an increase in value creation of an Irish sustainable seafood sector, across the supply chain, from catch to consumer.
We will partner with the Irish seafood sector in every possible way, with intent and urgency, to identify and drive the changes needed to ensure its sustainable future.
BIM’s Strategy for 2022 to 2026 aims to deliver our mission and vision in the context of particularly challenging times for the sector. Our strategy sets out four goals that aim to redefine what we do, and to positively reshape the sector as a result. These goals are supported by four new approaches to how we work – which will change the culture and consequence of BIM as an organisation.
Reporting to the Board, the CEO will lead the development and delivery of BIM’s next strategy in close collaboration with the senior management team, in the context of a changing operating environment for the seafood sector, alongside emerging opportunities in areas such as seafood processing and aquaculture. The role will require strong, credible leadership across the seafood sector, driving effective implementation and measurable outcomes. As a trusted and influential communicator, the CEO will engage confidently with industry, Government, and other stakeholders to support the delivery of national policy objectives and reinforce BIM’s leadership role in the sector.
