The North of the Tyne FLAG
We have produced a Strategy for a Fisheries Local Action Group (FLAG). .
The strategy covers 14 settlements from North Shields to Berwick-upon-Tweed; covering a distance of 65 miles, a population of 88,000 and employing over 150 people directly in the fishing industry. In 2016, the FLAG was awarded £800,000 from the European Maritime and Fisheries Fund (EMFF) to support fishermen and associated businesses.

We produced a report on the Fisheries Animateur in Cornwall.
The Animateur works with coastal communities across Cornwall to develop projects that help sustain the fishing industry. This report considers the social value from the project development work undertaken to support applicants. This analysis shows a return of £5.45 for every £1.00 invested in the programme.
