Scotland calls UK's £28M fishing fund allocation unfair, citing its 60% share of UK fisheries.
Scotland has condemned the UK government's decision to allocate just 7.8% of the £360 million Fishing and Coastal Growth Fund—£28 million—calling it unfair and insulting, despite Scotland accounting for over 60% of the UK’s fishing capacity and seafood exports.
Officials argue the funding, distributed via the population-based Barnett formula, fails to reflect Scotland’s economic contribution and undermines coastal communities.
The allocation marks a sharp drop from previous EU-era funding levels and has sparked backlash from industry leaders who say the decision ignores Scotland’s role in fisheries and betrays promises to modernize the fleet.
