Del. - The Delaware Department of Agriculture announced it will be distributing $199,400 in relief funds through the USDA Seafood Processors Pandemic Response and Safety (SPRS) Block Grant Program to eligible Delaware seafood processors, dealers, and processing vessels who were financially impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.
The state says the department can issue relief funds to eligible seafood processing facilities and processing vessels, including at-sea processors or dealers, who incurred expenses between Jan. 27 2020, and Dec. 31 2021.
The state says each processing facility or vessel can apply separately for funding. Processors can only apply once for each location or vessel. Eligible processors can access the application online at https://de.gov/seafoodrelief. All applications and supporting documents must be postmarked on or before Nov. 30 2023, or received electronically by the department by that date.Â
