About this opportunity
This federal grant opportunity from NOAA seeks applications to support Hawaii's Sustainable Coral Reef Fisheries Management Plans through the creation of management plans for Lana'i, Hawaii Island, Kauai, and Oahu; technical support for drafting the plans; and decision support tools for Navigator Teams. Eligible applicants must have a physical presence and partnerships in Hawaii, with experience working across diverse partnerships and Native Hawaiian organizations. Applications will be evaluated based on technical merit, including the qualifications of the applicants. Applications are due by March 1, 2024. Awards under this opportunity are expected to be no more than $200,000 in federal funds per fiscal year for up to three years, for a total award of no more than $600,000.
All work supported by the award is expected to be conducted in Hawaii in coordination with local partners and Navigator Teams. Funding of up to $200,000 in federal funds per year for three years, not to exceed a total of $600,000, will be provided through NOAA's Coral Reef Conservation Program.
Synopsis
The purpose of this notice is to solicit financial assistance applications that will support state and national management goals through the creation of Sustainable Coral Reef Fisheries Management Plans (CR-FMPs) across the Hawaiian Islands. The applicant will work closely with partners at the State of Hawaii's Division of Aquatic Resources (DAR) and NOAA Pacific Island Regional Office (PIRO) to support development of CR-FMPs as part of the State's Holomua Initiative. The State will lead this process, driven by local, island-based Navigator Teams; this award will focus on providing technical support and creating decision making tools to aid this process.
These funds will be utilized specifically to support technical writing needs in Lana'i, Hawai'i Island, Kauai, and O¿ahu CR-FMPs, in coordination with DAR. CR-FMPs will identify specific management actions that will contribute to reaching locally identified sustainable fisheries management targets on each island. Funds may also be used to support data integration needs from each island, or in the creation of decision support tools to assist island based Navigator Teams to make science based decisions on sustainable fishing targets for their place.
Applications submitted to this funding opportunity should propose work plans over a duration of no more than 36 months (3 years). Each application should not request more than $200,000 in Federal funds per fiscal year, for a total of no more than $600,000. Applications are expected to be submitted by entities with a physical presence and long-term partnerships in Hawai'i, and applicants should have demonstrated experience working across diverse partnerships and with Native Hawaiian organizations.
