About this award

Written by GovTribe AI ·

The U.S. Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service awarded the Mississippi Department of Marine Resources $204,470 under the Sport Fish Restoration program (CFDA 15.605) on September 1, 2025, with completion targeted for December 31, 2026. This Formula Grant supports collaborative reef fish monitoring activities designed to restore, conserve, and enhance sport fish populations in Mississippi's coastal waters while providing public access to aquatic recreational resources. The program is financed through excise taxes on fishing equipment and related maritime products and is administered through the Fish and Wildlife Service's eight regional offices.

Under this award, Mississippi State University serves as a sub-grantee to develop and implement camera-based monitoring methods for red snapper (Lutjanus campechanus), a highly valued recreational finfish species critical to Mississippi's economy and cultural heritage. The monitoring program addresses limitations of traditional fishery-independent monitoring methods and builds on successful camera-based monitoring approaches recently employed during the Great Red Snapper Count in other Gulf states. This initiative is intended to provide Mississippi fishery managers and recreational anglers with enhanced data on relative species abundance while supporting the long-term sustainability of this important natural resource.
