<p>On 10 December 2018 the Secretary of State announced £37.2 million of extra funding
for the UK seafood sector – to be spent in line with European Maritime and Fisheries
Fund (EMFF) priorities – for projects approved during 2019 and 2020 to boost the industry
as we become an independent coastal state.</p><p> </p><p>The Secretary of State has
also committed that the Government will put in place new domestic, long term arrangements
to support the UK’s fishing industry from 2021, through the creation of four new schemes
comparable to the EMFF to deliver funding for each nation. The devolved administrations
will lead on their own schemes. The new schemes will be introduced after the EMFF
has closed in 2020. Details of these will be set at the 2019 Spending Review, alongside
decisions on all other domestic spending priorities.</p>
