Jamie Widdowfield, lobster fisherman, Hartlepool

By Tessa Bunney 2022

Jamie Widdowfield lobster and crab fishing on 'Sarah Beth' off Hartlepool, September 2022.  

Lobster fishing has replaced the white fish industry as the main target species on the North East coast – it now makes up the majority of income for the fishing communities.
