Examples of EU funding for fisheries

This fund has been used in other countries to promote various activities in regions where fishing is of high economic importance. For instance, in the Dutch town of Urk, it funded the establishment of a museum dedicated to fishing. In Bremerhaven, an old port area was transformed into an educational centre for fishing-related studies. In Greece the EU invested heavily with the local Producers' Organisation to promote aquaculture. The type of projects that can be funded by the EU vary. It largely depends on how much the local Producers' Organisation will come up with projects that will benefit the fishing community in Malta and Gozo.
