The National Seafood Survey – Fisheries, collecting data for 2021 operations. Deadline for survey returns is 31 January 2023
The National Seafood Survey, collecting data for 2021 operations, will remain open until Tuesday 31 of January 2023 deadline.
Completing the survey is a legal requirement (S.I. No 132 of 2010) and a condition of grant aid payment.
What is the purpose of the online survey?
The survey asks a series of questions about the financial and operational performance of fishing vessels and the demographics of the crew. The findings of the survey provide key data and insights into the status of Ireland’s fishing sector on an annual basis. The returns form the basis for the justification of national and EU grant aid programmes, focused on supporting the industry and coastal communities.
