This grant, offered by the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), is for advancing research and fostering collaboration in the study of Atlantic bluefin tuna. It provides financial assistance for projects aimed at enhancing the working relationship among fisheries researchers from NMFS, state agencies, universities, and other institutions, as well as U.S. recreational and commercial fishery interests. The primary purpose is to address critical information needs, thereby improving the science-based management of Atlantic bluefin tuna in the Atlantic Ocean. By supporting these research objectives, the program contributes directly to NOAA’s overarching mission goal of protecting, restoring, and managing coastal and ocean resources through an ecosystem approach.
