This grant, the National Bycatch Reduction Engineering Program (BREP), is for developing technological solutions and investigating changes in fishing practices to significantly reduce the bycatch of various marine species. The program aims to minimize the incidental capture of fish, including sponges and corals, as well as protected species such as marine mammals, sturgeon, seabirds, and sea turtles. A key objective is also to minimize injury and mortality, including post-release, for these unintended catches. For FY2013, approximately $2,500,000 is available for projects focusing on priority bycatch research areas.

| Description: | The mission of the National Bycatch Reduction Engineering Program (BREP) is to develop technological solutions and investigate changes in fishing practices designed to minimize bycatch of fish (including sponges, deep-sea corals, and shallow (tropical) corals) and protected species (including marine mammals, sturgeon, seabirds, and sea turtles) as well as minimize bycatch injury and mortality (including post-release injury and mortality).
For FY2013, NMFS anticipates that approximately $2,500,000 could be made available for projects that address by-catch research as identified in the Program Priority Section (I.B.1 – I.B.7). |
