About this opportunity
This cooperative agreement from the National Marine Fisheries Service seeks proposals from Alaska Native Organizations for projects supporting marine mammal conservation and co-management. Eligible applicants must have signed co-management agreements with NMFS and propose projects addressing priority actions in species recovery plans or conservation strategies. Proposals are due February 2, 2024 and will be evaluated based on how well they meet program objectives, demonstrate technical merit, include project management plans, and justify costs.
Funding will provide $1.5 million annually for awards determined based on proposal contents and availability. Projects may last one to three years, beginning July 2024. Individual awards will support work in Alaska focusing on species under NMFS jurisdiction through activities like development and implementation of management plans, subsistence harvest monitoring, scientific research, and public education.
Synopsis
The National Marine Fisheries Service (hereinafter, "NMFS") recognizes the unique importance of marine mammals to Alaska Native Organizations (hereinafter, "ANOs") and values ongoing efforts by Alaska Native Tribes and ANOs to conserve and protect subsistence species under NMFS' jurisdiction. Pursuant to 16 U.S.C. §1388, NMFS may provide Federal assistance to ANOs to conserve marine mammals and to promote co-management of Alaska Native subsistence use of such mammals under NMFS' jurisdiction. This assistance, provided in the form of cooperative agreements, may be used to support conservation of marine mammals utilized for subsistence purposes by Alaska Natives. Funded activities may include development and implementation of species management, subsistence harvest monitoring, subsistence harvest sampling, scientific research, and public education and outreach. Proposed activities should address priority actions identified in an Endangered Species Act Recovery Plan or Marine Mammal Protection Act Conservation Plan where applicable and the priorities identified within this federal funding opportunity. Tribally-Authorized ANOs with a signed agreement for co-management with NMFS are eligible to apply under this solicitation. Proposals focusing on marine mammals under the jurisdiction of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service will not be considered for funding under this grant program. This document describes how to prepare and submit proposals for funding in fiscal year (hereinafter, "FY") 2024 and how NMFS will determine which proposals will be funded. This announcement should be read in its entirety, as some information has changed from the previous year.
