About the company

Commercial Fisheries Research Foundation (CFRF) is a non-profit organization based in Kingston, Rhode Island, registered in SAM.gov since 2005, with a primary focus on marine research and fisheries management. The organization serves as a collaborative research entity that engages commercial fishermen in scientific data collection and innovative marine research projects. CFRF works closely with the fishing industry to address critical marine ecosystem challenges, develop technological solutions, and support sustainable fisheries management through cooperative research approaches.

CFRF has consistently received federal grant awards from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), focusing on marine research across multiple fishery domains including sea scallops, American lobster, Jonah crab, and squid. Their projects have encompassed diverse research objectives such as developing image-based biological data collection systems, monitoring offshore wind farm impacts on marine species, testing modified fishing gear to reduce bycatch, and creating research fleets that collect scientific data during commercial fishing operations. Notable grant projects have included piloting automatic squid jigging machinery, assessing vulnerability of sea scallop social-ecological systems to ocean acidification, and establishing research fleets for lobster and scallop fisheries. CFRF has also collaborated with various research institutions and organizations like Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission, and National Fish and Wildlife Foundation through sub-grant partnerships, demonstrating a robust network of scientific collaboration in marine research and fisheries management.
