Abstract: Abstract European fisheries funds are obviously sectoral, but the current European Maritime and Fisheries Fund (EMFF) and the previous European Fisheries Fund (EFF) include among their axes (specifically axis four) the financing of territorial projects focused on the creation of wealth and jobs in fishing areas. In other previous works, the typology of the projects financed has been analyzed; in fact, the same regulations of the funds divide the projects into five main categories: Diversification; Added Value; Socio-cultural; Environmental and Governance. Much has been written about Fisheries diversification projects and especially about the possible synergies between tourism and fishing through FLAGs and European fisheries funds. Tourism projects have almost always been classified into the diversification category; however, previous analyses showed that many of these projects have to do with the recovery of the tangible and intangible heritage of fisheries. For this reason, it was necessary to analyze what types of projects are framed in socio-cultural projects. This paper is focused on analyzing the projects labeled as socio-cultural in Spain in the FEMP period (2014–2020) from the database of the Spanish Network of Fisheries Groups (REGP). Information has been found on 222 projects. The objective is to categorize these projects and analyze what types of socio-cultural projects have been financed during the FEMP period.
