2013 Mid-Atlantic Research Set-Aside Program

by: TopGovernmentGrants Editorial Staff

The Mid-Atlantic Fishery Management Council is one of the eight councils that was established as mandated under the The Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act of 1976, in an attempt to provide the United States with exclusive management authority over fisheries.

The Council is primarily responsible for the management of fisheries in federal waters off the mid-Atlantic coast and is composed of representatives from New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, and North Carolina.

With this, the Mid-Atlantic Fishery Management Council has recently established the 2013 Mid-Atlantic Research Set-Aside Program wherein it intends to solicit proposals that can successfully and efficiently address the Mid-Atlantic Research Set-Aside priorities relating to summer flounder, scup, black sea bass, longfin squid, Illex squid, Atlantic mackerel, butterfish, and bluefish.

The applicants who will be granted funds under this program can request up to 25% of the total research set-aside quota of any of the species listed in this program.
