About BIM

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. With our head office in Dun Laoghaire, Co. Dublin, our Seafood Innovation Hub in Clonakility, Co. Cork, as well as regional offices around the coast, we have, for the last seven decades worked to support and develop the Irish seafood industry.

Our vision is to lead 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.
