New £1 million grant scheme opened today to increase supply of local seafood ![]() New £1 million grant scheme opened today to increase supply of local seafood during the covid-19 pandemic From the sea to the door: New grant scheme to support seafood businesses in England to sell catches
The government has today opened for applications a new Domestic Seafood Supply Scheme, which will fund projects that will help seafood businesses in England increase the supply of local seafood to domestic markets. The £1 million scheme, first announced by Defra and HM Treasury on 17 April, is part of a £10 million fund for England’s fishing and aquaculture sectors that have been adversely impacted by the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic. As well as this financial support, qualifying seafood businesses may also qualify for other Government support. MMO has produced a guide to what is available. This scheme will help seafood businesses adapt to changes in their markets caused by COVID-19 by helping fund changes to businesses and/or infrastructure that will help them to sell their products domestically, and support projects that increase domestic consumption of seafood landed or processed in England. The Marine Management Organisation (MMO) will accept applications for projects that support domestic sales of locally-caught fish and shellfish from Wednesday 29 April to Monday 11 May. Projects will be assessed by a panel including industry representatives. Successful applications will be announced from Friday 15 May. The scheme will fund measures that assist the industry to set up local and regional distribution such as plant and equipment to help with local fish processing, or assets that can be shared at port such as storage and refrigerated vans. Fisheries Minister, Victoria Prentis said:
Applications are invited from groups of businesses in the fishing, aquaculture and fish processing industries or individual businesses engaged in activities which support the seafood supply chain. Projects are invited that:
To support fisheries, the MMO has expanded its grants team and increased its opening hours to administer the Fisheries Response Fund (FRF) which was announced at the same time as the Domestic Seafood Supply Scheme. In the first week, the MMO team has made FRF payments of over £2 million to over 500 fishing vessel owners so far. Tom McCormack, Chief Executive Officer of the MMO said:
To apply for the Domestic Seafood Supply Scheme visit www.gov.uk/mmo. Development is also underway to provide other support for the aquaculture sector under the Fisheries Response Fund (FRF). An announcement is planned soon.
