<p>As announced in the 2018 Budget, the Government is investing £10 million from BEIS’s
allocation of the National Productivity Investment Fund for Research and Development
to enhance the productivity and sustainability of fisheries and seafood industries
across the whole of the UK. The Seafood Innovation Fund will disburse this money and
help transform the industry to ensure the UK is a world leader in safe, sustainable
and productive fishing. BEIS has asked Defra and Cefas to deliver this funding on
behalf of UK Research and Innovation, given the specialist knowledge and understanding
required to make the most of this opportunity. Details of the design of the fund are
currently being finalised to ensure value for money and we expect the fund to launch
shortly.</p>
