This grant is for advancing science-based fisheries management of Atlantic bluefin tuna populations. The program’s core objective is to significantly enhance the understanding of bluefin tuna fisheries and their biology, with a specific focus on the effects of population mixing and movement across the eastern and western Atlantic. This funding opportunity directly supports the U.S. contribution to a vital multi-year international research program. This collaborative initiative is led by Contracting Parties to the International Convention for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT), which includes the United States, along with other global partners. Submissions that demonstrate robust collaborations with the ICCAT Atlantic Bluefin Tuna Research Program and other ICCAT partners are strongly encouraged, fostering international cooperation in critical conservation efforts.

| Description: |
The objective of the program is to provide a basis for advancing science-based fisheries management for Atlantic bluefin tuna. Such advancement will depend upon improvements in understanding of the fisheries and biology of bluefin tuna, especially regarding the effects of mixing and movement between the eastern and western Atlantic populations. Contracting Parties to the International Convention for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT), of which the US is one, and other partners have embarked upon a multi-year research program on bluefin tuna as a step toward improving ICCAT’s science-based management of Bluefin fisheries. Research sponsored under this funding opportunity represents a contribution to this partnership. Proposals that demonstrate collaborations with the ICCAT Atlantic Bluefin Tuna Research Program and other ICCAT partners are strongly encouraged. |
