EMFAF:
The European Maritime, Fisheries and Aquaculture Fund (EMFAF) is established for the period from 1 January 2021 to 31 December 2027. It targets funding from the Union budget to support the Common Fisheries Policy (CFP), the Union's maritime policy and the Union's international commitments in the field of ocean governance.
Such funding is a key enabler for sustainable fisheries and the conservation of marine biological resources, for food security through the supply of seafood products, for the growth of a sustainable blue economy and for healthy, safe, secure, clean and sustainably managed seas and oceans.
For this purpose, the EMFAF is organised along four priorities:
- Fostering sustainable fisheries and the restoration and conservation of aquatic biological resources;
- Fostering sustainable aquaculture activities, and processing and marketing of fisheries and aquaculture products, thus contributing to food security in the Union;
- Enabling a sustainable blue economy in coastal, island and inland areas, and fostering the development of fishing and aquaculture communities;
- Strengthening international ocean governance and enabling seas and oceans to be safe, secure, clean and sustainably managed.
