Summary

This EMFAF call is not relevant to core work — Maritime Spatial Planning policy only, not plastic or circular economy. Noted because EMFAF as a programme does fund marine litter collection and waste infrastructure at fishing ports, but those funds flow through national programmes (e.g. Fiskeristyrelsen in Denmark). Monitor Fiskeristyrelsen tilskudsguide for EMFAF-backed Danish national calls.

Historical Context

CINEA manages EMFAF direct grants. Previous MSP calls in 2023 and 2025. Marine litter-specific EMFAF calls issued in past under Horizon Europe rather than EMFAF direct management.
