This NOAA Fisheries grant is for advancing science-based management of Atlantic bluefin tuna, aligning with the multi-year research program by the International Convention for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT) and its partners. This program aims to improve understanding of bluefin tuna fisheries and biology, focusing on population mixing and movement between the eastern and western Atlantic. As a Contracting Party to ICCAT, the U.S. is offering this funding opportunity to contribute to this international partnership. Proposals demonstrating strong collaboration with the ICCAT Atlantic Bluefin Tuna Research Program and other ICCAT partners are highly encouraged, facilitating crucial research for sustainable fisheries management.

| 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. |
