The aim of the study is to evaluate the importance of the support, provided by the EU financial instruments, for the development of Latvian fishery sector. The analysis was made on the basis of the available data and their quality. As a result of the study, the author found out that in the planning periods of 2004 – 2006, 2007 – 2013 and 2014 – 2020, for the development of fishery sector in Latvia the support of several EU financial instruments was available.
