Support for fishing and coastal communities in Scotland
A new round of funding to support fishing businesses and wider marine organisations in coastal communities is open for applications.
Now in its second year, the Marine Fund Scotland has an overall budget of up to £14 million.
It was introduced by the Scottish Government to replace the European Maritime and Fisheries Fund, which UK businesses no longer have access to following Brexit.
Marine Fund Scotland will support projects which contribute to innovative and sustainable marine sectors, reduce carbon emissions and support coastal communities. It will reflect Scotland’s Blue Economy Vision, which was published earlier this year.
