BBC RADIO Shetland journalist Jane Moncrieff has put together powerful and moving programme, ‘Safety at Sea’, exploring the life of the inshore fisherman, what happens when a tragic incident occurs and how safety can be improved.

She spoke to families that have been bereaved and emergency rescue services, went out to the creels and had a word with politicians.

You can listen to the 54-minute programme in full on the link below.
