The National Bycatch Reduction Engineering Program (BREP) is offering this grant to develop technological solutions and investigate changes in fishing practices. This effort aims to minimize bycatch of fish (including corals) and protected species (like marine mammals, sturgeon, seabirds, and sea turtles), along with reducing bycatch injury and mortality, including post-release impacts. This grant is for supporting research projects that address bycatch reduction, as identified in BREP’s program priorities. Approximately $2,500,000 is anticipated to be available for proposals focusing on more sustainable and responsible fishing practices.
