Description

The National Marine Fisheries Service’s Bycatch Reduction Engineering Program provides competitive grants to non-Federal researchers for developing and testing improved fishing practices, fishing gear, and other conservation engineering approaches. Projects should benefit U.S. fishermen and fisheries, including aquaculture, by reducing bycatch and post-release mortality of non-target species and minimizing habitat impacts in commercial or recreational fisheries. The funding notice anticipates 30 cooperative agreement awards, with individual awards ranging from $50,000 to $400,000 and estimated total program funding of $4.6 million. Federal agencies and instrumentalities are ineligible; no cost sharing or matching is required.
