The Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries, Water and Rural Development of the Junta de Andalucía in Spain has announced a aid package of 9.5 million euros for the fishing and aquaculture sector. The aid, which includes 6.5 million euros for fishing and 3.5 million euros for aquaculture companies, is in response to European Commission cuts that have led to significant reductions in fishing days and quotas, and increased costs due to the Ukraine war.
