Kintyre fishing communities, and the aquaculture and maritime industries, could net a share of almost £1 million.
The Argyll and Ayrshire Fisheries Local Action Group (AAFLAG) has announced that the Argyll and Ayrshire European Maritime Fisheries Fund (EMFF) is open for applications.
Grants to cover up to 50 per cent of total eligible project costs are available for schemes with a direct link to fishing or aquaculture which promote the sustainable economic development of traditional fishing communities.
