The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) is offering this Cooperative Research Program (CRP) grant to foster stronger collaboration between fisheries researchers and the U.S. fishing industry. This grant is for the purpose of improving relationships among NMFS, state fishery agencies, universities, and commercial and recreational fishermen. Projects will involve the fishing industry directly in collecting fundamental fisheries information. This supports management and regulatory options across the Gulf of Mexico, South Atlantic, and Caribbean regions. The program aligns with NOAA’s mission to protect, restore, and manage coastal and ocean resources through an ecosystem approach.
