Summary
The Green Program for the Transition of Fisheries and Aquaculture (Grønt program for omstilling af fiskeri og akvakultur) is a grant scheme administered by the Danish Agency for Food, Agriculture and Fisheries (LFST) under the Danish EHFAF (European Maritime, Fisheries and Aquaculture Fund) 2021-2027 programme. The programme's thematic scope focuses on supporting the green transition of Denmark's fisheries and aquaculture sectors. Priority areas include research and documentation of environmental and ecological impacts of fishing and aquaculture activities, promoting environmentally sound fishing gear and methods, sustainable fish stock regulation, fish welfare, and reducing ecological footprints in fishing and aquaculture operations. Eligible activities include applied research projects, field documentation, development of environmentally friendly fishing gear, technical studies on ecosystem impacts, and knowledge dissemination related to green fisheries transition. Projects must demonstrate a clear connection to reducing the environmental impact of Danish fisheries or aquaculture. Geographically, the programme is restricted to Denmark and Danish fisheries waters, including the North Sea, Baltic Sea, and Danish coastal zones. Eligible applicants are expected to include research institutions, universities, industry organizations, NGOs, and fishing sector bodies working on green transition and environmental improvement in Danish fisheries and aquaculture. Co-funding requirements apply as typical for EHFAF-backed schemes. The programme operates with periodic application rounds, with October being a key annual deadline. Applications are processed in Danish through the LFST grant portal.
