    KFO is governed by a Board drawn from members and re-elected annually. It is managed by a Chief Executive Officer who is instructed by the Board on matters of interest such as markets, technical developments, EU and national regulations, fishing opportunities and developments outside the fishing industry but which may directly or indirectly affect their business.
