The National Fish and Wildlife Foundation (NFWF) today announced the second round of grants available from its Fisheries Innovation Fund, a public-private partnership to foster the design and implementation of new and ground- breaking ideas for sustainable fisheries practices.
NFWF’s Fisheries Innovation Fund, introduced in 2010, encourages the participation of fishermen and fishing communities in the implementation of sustainable fisheries in the U.S. It promotes the development of safer, more profitable fisheries that meet catch limits and eliminate overfishing. In its initial year, the Fund awarded nearly $2.25 million to 18 projects in the northeastern U.S., the Gulf of Mexico, the Pacific coast and Alaska. In 2012, the Fund expects to award $1.1 to $2 million for 15 projects across the country. Details on the Request for Proposals are available at www.nfwf.org/fisheriesfund .
Online Workshop
Prospective applicants (all persons, organizations, and non-U.S. Federal agencies are eligible to apply) are encouraged to attend a 60-minute workshop via remote webcast to learn more about the current priorities for funding and to gain tips for making the process of online proposal preparation easier. Representatives from the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation will walk through the priorities in the Request for Proposals in more detail, including example projects within each category, and will walk through the on-line pre-proposal application offering tips for preparing an effective proposal.
