We have produced a Strategy for a Fisheries Local Action Group (FLAG). .
The strategy covers 14 settlements from North Shields to Berwick-upon-Tweed; covering a distance of 65 miles, a population of 88,000 and employing over 150 people directly in the fishing industry. In 2016, the FLAG was awarded £800,000 from the European Maritime and Fisheries Fund (EMFF) to support fishermen and associated businesses.
