2020 Fisheries Resource Monitoring Program

The 2020 Fisheries Resource Monitoring Program aims to identify and provide information needed to sustain subsistence fisheries on Federal public lands for rural Alaskans through a multidisciplinary, collaborative program. The program will focus on projects that address specific priority information needs identified by Federal Subsistence Regional Advisory Councils. Applicants are encouraged to develop the highest level of community and regional collaboration that is practical. • The program will consider three broad categories of information: harvest monitoring, traditional ecological knowledge, and stock status and trends. • Proposals should address one of six geographic regions. • Projects up to four years in duration are eligible for funding. • The program anticipates availability of $1.5 million in funds for new projects with an annual funding cap of $215,000 per year.
