The EMFF supports fishermen in the transition towards sustainable fishing, helps coastal communities to diversify their economies, and finances projects that create jobs and improve quality of life along European coasts.
Under the Romanian programme, the EU will spend more than €168 million to increase production in fish farming and processing, preserve biodiversity and ensure environmental protection, and to maintain and create jobs, particularly in the fishing sector.
