Originally established under the Sea Fisheries Act, 1952, the organisation serves to provide resources to the fishing industry, particularly in aquaculture, as well as providing an interface to the consumer for information and promotion of seafood. Historically it operated boatyards in Baltimore, Dingle and Killybegs.
BIM headquarters is currently located in Dún Laoghaire, County Dublin.
