| Description: | The National Marine Fisheries Service’s (NMFS) recognizes the unique importance of marine mammals to Alaska Native Organizations (hereafter ANOs) and values ongoing efforts by Alaska Native Tribes and ANOs to conserve and protect species under NMFS’ jurisdiction. Pursuant to 16 U.S.C. 1388, NMFS may provide Federal assistance to ANOs to conserve marine mammals, and to promote co-management of Alaska Native subsistence use of such mammals under NOAA’s jurisdiction. This assistance, provided in the form of cooperative agreements, can be used to support conservation of marine mammals utilized for subsistence purposes by Alaska Natives. Funded activities may include development and implementation of species management, subsistence harvest monitoring, subsistence harvest sampling, scientific research, and public education and outreach. Proposals should address priority actions identified in an Endangered Species Act Recovery Plan or Marine Mammal Protection Act Conservation Plan where applicable and the priorities identified within this federal funding opportunity. Tribally-Authorized Alaska Native Organizations with a signed Agreement for co-management with NMFS are eligible to apply under this solicitation.
Proposals focusing on marine mammals under the jurisdiction of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service will not be considered for funding under this grant program. |
