Hastings is a versatile and culture-rich town that welcomes many people to experience the culture behind its fishing industry history, which attracted families to Hastings for over 100 years. Now, with an ageing population and the new generations engaged in other activities, Hastings' fishing tradition is in decline. The downfall of the industry has been exacerbated by the introduction of Brexit, as fishing fleets are no longer able to fish freely. The introduction of a Fisherman's Hub in Hastings aims to change this situation by opening perspectives and creating new jobs. It offers education about sea life to locals and visitors, prepares a new generation of fishermen, and contributes to the creation of a sustainable future for the fishing industry of the town.
