## Notice

Historically, the UK's fisheries, inland waters, aquaculture and maritime sectors were supported by the European Maritime and Fisheries Fund (EMFF) , a European structural fund aligned with the needs of the Common Fisheries Policy (CFP). Out of the EU we are putting in place new arrangements to support the sector. In England the main source of support will be the Fisheries and Seafood Scheme (FaSS).
