WELSH MARINE & FISHERIES SCHEME
The Welsh Marine and Fisheries Scheme has now closed to new applications.
The scheme closed on 31st March 2026.
If you received Fishing Animateur support to apply then your application is currently being assessed by Rural Payments Wales. We anticipate the outcome of the first assessment round to be in early summer. We will be in touch as soon as we have an update for you.
If you have an idea and want to seek support to develop a project for any future rounds of funding then please get in touch.
There is free, independent support for applicants available through a Welsh Fisheries Animateur Pilot project funded by Welsh Government in collaboration with the Welsh Fisherman's Association.
To access this support applicants can contact Fishing Animateur:
