Marine Fund Scotland

The Marine Fund Scotland has launched and for an initial period will operate on the basis of Expressions of Interest (EOI) to allow us to assess and engage with initial proposals for projects. 

The fund is being launched under the Blue Economy policy approach and the developing Blue Economy Action Plan (BEAP).  Projects which best fit with the new approach will be invited to submit an full application and supporting documents.  After this initial phase we will move directly to online applications.

The Expression of Interest Form does not form part of the formal application process for grant funding under the Marine Fund Scotland. Any response to an Expression of Interest Form does not confirm the acceptance or otherwise of any related application for funding. In order to be considered for an offer of grant funding by the Scottish Ministers from the Marine Fund Scotland, an application form and necessary supporting documents must be submitted to the Scottish Ministers.
