14 August 2024 - The Pollack Compensation Scheme is now closed, and no new applications will be considered. Any remaining activity will be concluded before the end of August 2024.
The scheme, which was administered by Marine Management Organisation (MMO) on behalf of Defra, follows engagement with industry as to how pollack fishers can be properly supported. You can find out more details about the scheme, on Gov.uk.
Those that meet the qualifying criteria will be contacted directly by MMO by email or letter.
If you meet the criteria and haven’t been contacted you can apply by using this form.
Any questions concerning this scheme should be sent to MMO’s Grants Team by email to UKFisheriesSupport@marinemanagement.org.uk
Fishers who believe they meet the requirements of this scheme but have not heard from MMO by Monday 29 April 2024 should contact us via the email address above.
