FIMETI

The Fair Isle Marine Environment and Tourism Initiative (FIMETI) was a Fair Isle community-led initiative in partnership with Fair Isle Bird Observatory Trust and The National Trust for Scotland... With the financial help of Scottish Office Rural Challenge and RSPB funding, FIMETI produced two policy reports: Managing the Sea For Birds (1997) and Safeguarding Our Heritage - the Fair Isle marine resource, a community proposal for its sustainable management" (1998)... The Rural Challenge funding was for a three year period which came to an end in March 1999. Since then, FIMETI has been supported financially at various times by the EU, Dunrossness Community Council, The National Trust for Scotland, Shetland Enterprise, Scottish Natural Heritage, Shetland Islands Council and The Williamson Bequest.
