On Wednesday 14 December 2011, I met with Yasmin from HFPS. The purpose of the visit was to meet her, see the fishery, look at the vegetated shingle and discuss using Classroom in the Coast for meetings.
Classroom on the Coast will the first classroom and demonstration kitchen attached to a MSC-certified fishery, in the world.
Yasmin took me walkabout on the beach and I visited the Fishermens' Museum.

The building in the background is a hotel, being built to mimic the net shops. The ruins at the top of the cliff are the remains of Hastings Castle and can be reached by cliff lift.
