Fisheries managers, fishermen, nonprofit organizations and others with a stake in America’s fisheries now have additional resources to put their innovative ideas into action. The National Fish and Wildlife Foundation and NOAA just announced the second round of grants available from its Fisheries Innovation Fund, a public-private partnership to foster the design and implementation of new and ground-breaking ideas for sustainable fisheries practices.
“These grants help unleash the expert knowledge and creativity of fishermen and communities,” said Eric Schwaab, Assistant Administrator for NOAA’s Fisheries Service. “The Fund is already supporting testing and evaluation of new ideas to build capacity in fishing communities and improve their sustainability, which is a win-win solution for stakeholders and managers. As we celebrate National Seafood Month, it's fitting that we continue supporting these innovative commitments to stewardship." |
