The EMFF is the fund for the EU's maritime and fisheries policies for 2014-2020.

The fund
- helps fishermen in the transition to sustainable fishing
- supports coastal communities in diversifying their economies
- finances projects that create new jobs and improve quality of life along European coasts
- makes it easier for applicants to access financing.
