The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, how the £360 million Fishing and Coastal Fund will be allocated.

Answered by Daniel Zeichner

The Fishing & Coastal Growth Fund will be investing £360 million over the next 12 years. We will work with industry to target investment where it matters most. For example, by considering investment in new technology and equipment to modernise our fishing fleet, training and skills to upskill the workforce and back the next generation of fishermen and promote the seafood sector to export our high-quality produce across the world.
