This grant, offered by the NOAA Coral Reef Conservation Program, is for the purpose of funding Regional Fishery Management Councils to conserve and manage coral reef fisheries. Authorized by the Coral Reef Conservation Act of 2000, projects should focus on gathering scientific information about coral reef resources, habitats, and fishing impacts; identifying new management approaches to protect biodiversity and ecosystem function; and integrating sustainable measures into fishery management plans. NOAA will assist in project identification, development, implementation, and coordination with state authorities and user groups. Approximately $1,500,000 is available for multi-year cooperative agreements, with individual awards ranging from $125,000 to $700,000 annually. This initiative aims to reduce fishing impacts and strengthen conservation efforts for vital coral reef ecosystems.

| Description: | The CRCP Fishery Management Council Coral Reef Conservation Cooperative Agreements (FMCCRCCA) provides funding to the Regional Fishery Management Councils for projects to conserve and manage coral reef fisheries, as authorized under the Coral Reef Conservation Act of 2000. Projects funded through the FMCCRCCA competition are for activities that (1) Provide better scientific information on the status of coral reef fisheries resources, critical habitats of importance to coral reef fishes, and the impacts of fishing on these species and habitats; (2) identify new management approaches that protect coral reef biodiversity and ecosystem function through regulation of fishing and other extractive uses; and (3) incorporate conservation and sustainable management measures into existing or new fishery management plans for coral reef species. Proposals selected for funding through this solicitation will be implemented through a multi- year cooperative agreement. The role of NOAA in these cooperative agreements is to help identify potential projects that reduce impacts of fishing on coral reef ecosystems, strengthen the development and implementation of the projects, and assist in coordination of these efforts with state, territory or commonwealth management authorities and various coral reef user groups. Approximately $1,500,000 is expected to be available for FMCCRCCA in fiscal year 2011. The NOAA Coral Reef Conservation Program anticipates that awards for this competition will range from $125,000-$700,000 per a year. |
