Applicants in England can still take advantage of the funding available through the European Fisheries Fund (EFF), as the deadline has been extended until 30 June 2014.
Over £90 million of European funding has been committed to projects and fisheries local action groups (FLAGs) in the UK since the start of the scheme.
The continuation of EFF into 2014 will give applicants a chance to access European funding between now and the start of the successor scheme, the European Maritime and Fisheries Fund (EMFF), the details of which are still being agreed.
EFF funding remains available for a range of projects including fishing vessel improvements, aquaculture, fish processing and port and harbour regeneration.
Michelle More, EFF Programme Manager says "The continuation of EFF is great news for applicants – this will allow them more time to take advantage of the range of available under the EFF scheme.”
All projects must be completed by 31 December 2015.
