After you apply

Once you have applied you will receive an email acknowledgement confirming that your application has been received.

Appeals

If your application is declined, you will receive a letter that explains why. You can appeal against this decision if you think that:

  • it was based on a factual error;
  • it was legally wrong; or
  • an error was made in the processing of your application

You have 2 weeks after the date of the letter to ask for a review of the decision. This must be made in writing, to UKFisheriesSupport@marinemanagement.org.uk, setting out the reasons why you are appealing the decision.

An appeals officer will consider your application in full against the selection criteria. You will be notified of the outcome of your appeal within 6 weeks of receiving it.
