The UK’s Marine Management Organisation (MMO) has confirmed that it will relaunch the Fisheries and Seafood Scheme (FaSS) in April this year in order to continue to provide support to England’s seafood sector, its coastal communities and the marine environment.
With funding available up to April 2025, this new new iteration of the scheme will deliver investment to safeguard the long-term sustainability, resilience and prosperity of the seafood sector, the MMO said.
“The scheme will have simplified guidance – reflecting feedback from the first year – and will continue to evolve and improve throughout its lifetime.”
The relaunched FaSS will replace an existing scheme, which will no longer be considering new applications this financial year.
