We welcome applications from not-for-profit organisations, companies, and education institutions. What matters most is not the size of your organisation, but the originality of your idea and its potential to make a meaningful impact for our seas.

If you’ve been waiting for the right opportunity to test a new idea, this is it.

The Innovation Fund applications will be judged against the following criteria:

• Degree of innovation and creativity
• Potential for impact on coastal and marine environments and / or species.
• Value for money
• Deliverability and scalability.
