Description
The European Maritime and Fisheries Fund (EMFF) (2014-2020) programme has been a fundamental instrument for the sustainable management of fisheries and aquaculture sectors and maritime spatial planning (MSP) within the EU under the coordination of the Executive Agency for Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (EASME).
In 2021, the successor programme to the EMFF, known as the EMFAF, was introduced under the management of the European Climate, Infrastructure and Environment Executive Agency (CINEA). The EMF(A)F has provided financial support to various initiatives to enhance these sectors' competitiveness, environmental sustainability, and socio-economic viability. Key priorities include promoting sustainable fisheries practices, fostering innovation, supporting coastal communities, and conserving marine ecosystems.
The EMF(A)F has supported MSP through direct management by funding EU-wide projects and initiatives and through shared management by empowering Member States to develop and implement national and regional MSP strategies.
