Sustainable Fisheries Scheme

This scheme is designed for owners of non-Small Scale Coastal Fishers (SSCF) vessels, allowing onboard investments, with the following objectives:

• Improve quality: Innovative investments on board that improve the quality of fishery products or add value to fishery products, by allowing fishers to carry out the processing of these catches.
• Improve catch handling
• Enhance traceability: The costs of purchase and installation on board of the components, including computer software, which are necessary to ensure the traceability of fishery products.
• Improve hygiene, health and safety: Investments on board that exceed legislative requirements to improve hygiene, health, safety and working conditions provided.
• Improve energy efficiency: Investments in equipment aimed at reducing the emission of pollutants or greenhouse gases and increasing the energy efficiency of fishing vessels.
