The Marine Management Organisation (MMO) has confirmed there are zero eligible vessels that have Looe as their registered home port.

MMO has contacted all eligible fishers via email and is calling those who have yet to apply. Fishers who believe they meet the requirements of this scheme but have not heard from MMO by Monday 29 April 2024 should contact MMO by sending an email to UKFisheriesSupport@marinemanagement.org.uk.
