European Fisheries Fund funding opportunities
Two meetings will take place in Moray next week to discuss a proposed new Moray European Fisheries Fund.
Representatives from businesses and community organisations operating in local coastal towns are invited to attend the meetings, which will take place at:
the Town House in Buckie on Tuesday, August 9
at Lossiemouth Town Hall on Wednesday, August 10.
Both begin at 5.30pm and booking is not necessary.
It is hoped that the fund, which will run for two years, will amount to £400,000, with half coming from the European Fisheries Fund.
Applicants will be required to secure match funding from other sources and at least half of the projects must be led by the private sector. Projects which could be considered for funding include adding value to fisheries products, small-scale fisheries and tourism infrastructure, protecting the environment and architectural heritage and diversifying the economy.
Those attending will be able to find out more about the proposed new fund and contribute opinions and ideas about how it should operate. These may be incorporated into the fund’s business plan and strategy currently under development.
More information about the fund and the meeting is available from Moray Council development officer Alan MacBeth on 01343 563537 or by e-mail at alan.macbeth@moray.gov.uk

Wise are the ones who learn that the main point here doesn’t will have being their priority.
