The Manx fishing industry could receive an additional £250,000 from the Government.
Fishermen have struggled to sell produce at competitive prices after they were left devestated by the coronavirus pandemic.
Grants designed to help fishing boat owners and seafood businesses will be extended until November, subject to Tynwald approval.
Initially approved in April, the scheme was originally extended until 31 August.
The fishing industry is worth about £20m to the island's economy annually.
