The UK government has awarded £3.9 million to build new sea fishing infrastructure, improve training and promote a career in the seafood industry

The funding for the seven projects is being delivered through the £100 million UK Seafood Fund as part of Round 2 of the Skills and Training scheme.

This latest tranche builds on the £1.1 million awarded earlier this year which has helped supply new purpose-built classrooms, bespoke technical training areas and improved facilities for blended training.
