This grant, offered by the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) and the Mid-Atlantic Fishery Management Council, supports Mid-Atlantic Research Set-Aside (RSA) projects. It invites proposals researching key regional fishery resources including summer flounder, scup, black sea bass, squid, mackerel, butterfish, and bluefish. Funding comes from the sale of research quota, not federal funds, covering project costs and compensating vessel owners. The grant aims to enhance knowledge of these resources and provide vital information for the Council’s management decisions. Priority is given to proposals directly addressing the Council’s identified research priorities, strengthening sustainable regional fishery management.

| Description: | NMFS, with assistance from the Mid-Atlantic Fishery Management Council (Council), is soliciting proposals that address Mid-Atlantic RSA research priorities concerning summer flounder, scup, black sea bass, longfin squid, Illex squid, Atlantic mackerel, butterfish, and bluefish. Proceeds from the sale of research quota are used to pay for research costs and to compensate fishing vessel owners that harvest RSA quota. No Federal funds are provided for research under this notification. Rather, proceeds generated from the sale of RSA quota will be used to fund research activities and/or harvest set-aside quota. Projects funded under the Mid-Atlantic RSA Program must enhance the knowledge of subject Mid-Atlantic fishery resources or contribute to the body of information on which Council management decisions are made. Priority will be given to proposals that investigate research priorities identified by the Council, which are detailed under the Program Priorities section of this announcement. |
