One of the actions from the Communication was the preparation and publishing of a guide with all available EU funding that can be used for the energy transition projects of fisheries and aquaculture.
Here you can download the Guide on financing the green energy transition of fisheries and aquaculture.
An interactive tool has been developed to support the use of the guide and provide an overview of available funding opportunities for the energy transition in EU fisheries and aquaculture.
