The scheme, which was administered by Marine Management Organisation (MMO) on behalf of Defra, follows engagement with industry as to how pollack fishers can be properly supported. You can find out more details about the scheme, on Gov.uk.
Those that meet the qualifying criteria will be contacted directly by MMO by email or letter.
If you meet the criteria and haven’t been contacted you can apply by using this form.
Any questions concerning this scheme should be sent to MMO’s Grants Team by email to [email protected]
