The EMFF is a European funding scheme which supports fisheries, inland waters, aquaculture and maritime sectors. The fund provides support for sustainable development within the fishing and aquaculture sectors and conservation of the marine environment, alongside growth and jobs in coastal communities. The purpose of the scheme is to provide European Member States with a financial support mechanism to the fisheries, inland waters, aquaculture and maritime sectors. The scheme will help reach economic, environmental and social goals and will enable European Member States to: ⢠help fishermen in the transition to sustainable fishing ⢠support coastal communities in diversifying their economies ⢠finance projects that create new jobs and improve quality of life along European coasts ⢠make it easier for applicants to access financing The UK has â¬243 million (around £190 million) of the programme which is split between England (â¬92.1 million), Scotland (â¬107.7 million) Northern Ireland (â¬23.5 million) and Wales (â¬19.7 million). The EMFF scheme in England provides funding for: ⢠assisting the fisheries sectors with the implementation of the reformed CFP including the Landing Obligation ⢠improving health and safety on fishing vessels ⢠improving the added value or quality of fish caught including use of unwanted catches ⢠investments in fishing ports, landing sites, auction halls and shelters ⢠processing of fishery and aquaculture products ⢠investments in aquaculture ⢠Fisheries Local Action Groups (FLAG) The scheme will run until 2020 or until all available money has been allocated The European Commission requires that information about each project which has been funded under the EMFF is published; this is done through the publication of this dataset. It is updated every 6 months.
