Seafish announces US$1.56-million project fund

Seafish, the authority on seafood, has announced grants applications from the 2011 Seafish Industry Project Fund worth up to GBP1 million (US$1.56 million).

Seafish is particularly interested in applications for grants that cover seafood marketing and consumer communication, or that promote the nutritional benefits of seafood. However, work aligning with any of the strategic themes identified by industry as crucial to promoting seafood, raising standards and improving efficiency will be eligible.

Following an in-depth review of its work by its industry sponsors, Seafish is proposing to work to seven themes over the next three years. The seven themes are: Health, Consumers, Standards, Environment, Information, Safety at Sea, and Regulation.
