Description
NMFS, in coordination with the New England Fishery Management Council (Council), is soliciting Atlantic sea scallop (scallop) proposals to use scallop RSA quota reserved by the Council to fund scallop research endeavors through the 2022/2023 Scallop RSA Program. No federal funds are provided for research under this notification. Rather, proceeds generated from the sale of RSA quota will be used to fund approved activities and compensate scallop vessel owners.
Projects funded under the Scallop RSA Program must enhance the knowledge of the scallop fishery resource or contribute to the body of information on which scallop management decisions are made. Priority will be given to proposals that investigate research priorities developed by the Council, which are detailed under the Program Priorities section of this announcement.
New Program Requirements and Content
Section IV.B – Content and Form of Application has been revised from previous years. There are additional application submission requirements that must be met. Questions on the new requirements should be directed to the Program Officer.
Section VI.C – Reporting. Final reports must meet Section 508 Standards. These standards ensure equitable access to final reports. Questions on this requirement should be directed to the Program Officer.
