A Call for Grants for small-scale fishers in the Mediterranean has been launched by WWF today.

To increase the number of requests for funds submitted to the EMFF, WWF provides small scale fishers with:
- upfront capital under the form of a grant (from €5,000 to €20,000), which has to be used as co-financing to EMFF Request for funds managed by EMFF national authorities
- technical assistance in support of the preparation of the EMFF Request for funds.- upfront capital under the form of a grant (from €5,000 to €20,000), which has to be used as co-financing to EMFF Request for funds managed by EMFF national authorities
Eligible small-scale fishers from Spain, France, Italy, Slovenia, Croatia, and Greece, who are interested in receiving upfront capital and technical assistance to develop an EMFF Request for funds, are invited to submit project proposals according to the Rules and Criteria of this Call for Grants.
