Forecast text

The Integrated Fisheries Application (IFA) is an online centralized system currently being developed by NOAA Fisheries' Alaska Region to manage fisheries permits and programs. IFA seeks to consolidate multiple old local permitting software applications into a single cloud-based application, with the aim of modernizing the region’s technological infrastructure, simplifying business processes, and holistically implementing the Alaska Region’s nine catch share programs and its associated fisheries management business processes. While IFA is the primary focus of this contract, other applications development projects may be included, depending on the needs of the Alaska Region. The ever-changing fisheries management environment can occasionally require the rapid development and execution of new applications to comply with new mandates and requirements.
