The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) is offering the Bluefin Tuna Research Program (BTRP) grant to foster collaboration and provide financial assistance for projects focused on northern bluefin tuna in the Atlantic Ocean. This grant is for advancing research objectives that address critical information needs, aiming to improve science-based fisheries management. The program seeks to enhance the working relationship between NMFS, state fishery agencies, universities, other research institutions, and U.S. fishery interests (recreational and commercial). This initiative supports NOAA’s mission to “Protect, Restore, and Manage the Use of Coastal and Ocean Resources through an Ecosystem Approach to Management,” ultimately contributing to sustainable bluefin tuna populations.
