A new funding round of €1 million is now available to community groups and angling clubs to further develop conservation and development projects in 2021. To apply applicants are required in the first instance to complete an “expression of interest” (EOI) form on a grants’ management portal. The EOI funding call consists of two schemes made up of angler contributions to both funds, and is open to angling clubs, fishery owners, local development associations, local authorities, tidy towns, etc. The two schemes in question are the Midlands Fisheries Fund (€50,000) and the Salmon and Sea Trout Rehabilitation, Conservation and Protection Fund (€1 million). The funding call was launched on November 27th, and completed EOI’s can transfer to full application from November 30th.
