About this opportunity
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) of the Department of Commerce is offering the FY 25 Bluefin Tuna Research Program, a cooperative agreement funding opportunity. The objective is to provide a basis for advancing science-based fisheries management for Atlantic bluefin tuna by improving understanding of the fisheries, total abundance, and biology of the species, particularly regarding the effects of mixing and movement between eastern and western Atlantic populations. Eligible applicants include institutions of higher education, nonprofits, commercial organizations, individuals, and state/local/tribal governments. Applications will be evaluated on the potential to contribute to the ICCAT Atlantic Bluefin Tuna Research Program and other ICCAT partner initiatives. The application deadline is November 1, 2024.
Approximately $600,000 may be available to fund 5 projects ranging from $25,000 to $300,000, with an expected average award of $125,000. The funded activities will be performed in U.S. coastal and marine environments to support bluefin tuna conservation and management.
Synopsis
The objective of the program is to provide a basis for advancing science-based fisheries management for Atlantic bluefin tuna. Such advancement will depend upon improvements in understanding of the fisheries, total abundance, and biology of bluefin tuna, especially regarding the effects of mixing and movement between the eastern and western Atlantic populations. Contracting Parties to the International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT), of which the US is one, and other partners have embarked upon a multi-year research program on bluefin tuna as a step toward improving ICCAT's science-based management of Bluefin fisheries. Research sponsored under this funding opportunity represents a contribution to this partnership. Proposals that demonstrate collaborations with the ICCAT Atlantic Bluefin Tuna Research Program and other ICCAT partners are
