🧵The People Behind The Scenes - With TC Nets. At any harbour, all eyes tend to focus on the fishing fleet. However, we were delighted to catch up with local Net Mender Terry Cunningham and see his skills in action as he mends nets at the quayside. Terry learned how to mend and splice 47 years ago with the hope of getting a berth and utilising his skills at sea. 🪡 That day never came, but Terry has mastered his technique ashore, mending nets for boats in Kilkeel, Ardglass and Portavogie over the years. The Mourne man makes this age-old craft look easy, but it’s a job which requires practice, precision and patience, even when up against time pressures. With no sign of slowing down, Terry is hopeful these vital skills will continue to be passed down for generations to come. @TC Nets #netmending #fishingindustry #skilledworkers #Craftsmanship #fishingnets #netmender

Last week, in collaboration with Kilkeel Development Association, we had the privilege of welcoming over 100 visitors from Invest N.I. The delegates, representing some 26 companies from around the globe took part in a range of activities in the Mourne area. Sea Source had the honour of hosting some of the visitors to a harbour tour experience. This began with a seafood cookery demonstration and tasting experience at Mourne Seafood Cookery School, guided walk of Kilkeel Harbour and tour of Sea Source Processing. The group also explored G Smyth Boat Ltd, where they experienced award winning boatbuilding in action. Brian Chambers from Sea Source N.I and David Hill of Sea Source Offshore, provided insights to the visitors regarding the progress and diversification in the fishing and Offshore Wind Industry in the Mourne area. Other sections of the delegation explored the sights and sounds of Mourne with visits to the Silent Valley, Neary Nogs Chocolate Factory, Mourne Park and The Green Holiday Cottages. On location they met local business owners and experienced traditional heritage skills from the heart of Mourne. A fantastic day welcoming the Invest N.I delegates and showcasing the Kingdom of Mourne to representatives throughout a range of industries worldwide. #investni #renewableenergy #fishingindustry #offshoreindustry #sustainability #networking #northernirelandbusiness #mournes #mournemountains #mourne #VisitKilkeel #kilkeel

This KHW video was launched in Westminster on Wednesday evening. Kilkeel Harbour Works (KHW) is a collaborative network of companies based at the harbour who have been working together to both promote and support one another, as well the outer harbour project that will benefit the entire community. Since the project was launched skilled job numbers have increased, new business has been secured and progress has been made with the harbour project. KHW is a superb initiative; local businesses working collaboratively not just for their own benefit, but for the future of the local community and economy.

NI fishermen share our seas and its bounties with beautiful creatures such as these Orcas around Shetland. Always a welcome sight and good company!
