COMPLETING THIS FORM
Use this Expression of Interest form if you would like an initial

submitting a full application form.
Your Expression of Interest form will be considered, and if your
project could be eligible for funding, you can apply for an MFF grant.
However having your Expression of Interest form considered and being
invited to apply to the MFF is NOT a guarantee that your project will
be granted funding.
Please refer to the Expression of Interest Guidance Note for help on
how to fill out this form. You must answer every question to provide
us with sufficient information to establish if your project is
eligible for grant funding.
Certain applicants may not be eligible to apply for MFF grant funding.
This applies to any individual who has been convicted of a serious
infringement in the 12 months prior to applying for an MFF grant or
fraud under any other fisheries grant – See the Expression of Interest
Guidance Note or General Guidance for more information. If you require
further details please contact the Marine Management Organisation
