About this opportunity
The National Bycatch Reduction Engineering Program (BREP) FY2025 is a federal grant opportunity that seeks to support the development of technological solutions and changes in fishing practices designed to minimize bycatch of fish, protected species, and invertebrates. The Department of Commerce, through the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's National Marine Fisheries Service, is the agency administering this grant. Eligible applicants include individuals, institutions of higher education, non-profits, for-profits, and state/local/tribal governments. Projects should address one of the five program priorities related to bycatch reduction technologies, gear modifications, and mortality reduction. Pre-proposals are due by December 13, 2024, and full proposals by March 21, 2025.
Approximately $2,300,000 may be available to fund 10-15 projects ranging from $50,000 to $250,000 each. The funding is provided under the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act, and projects should produce outcomes that can directly influence the management needs of federally managed living marine resources.
Synopsis
The mission of the National Bycatch Reduction Engineering Program (BREP) is to support the development of technological solutions and changes in fishing practices designed to minimize bycatch of fish and protected species (including Endangered Species Act-listed fish, marine mammals, seabirds, and sea turtles) and to reduce impacts to invertebrates (including sponges, deep-sea corals, and shallow (tropical) corals.) In addition, BREP may support projects that pursue ways to minimize mortality and injury of bycaught species (including post-release injury and mortality). Projects should produce outcomes that can directly influence management needs of federally managed living marine resources.
