Longliners create educational, research institute
|
BARNEGAT LIGHT, NJ - East Coast longline industry
people have created a new organization called the Fisheries Research
Institute to give the public, elected officials, and the media
“another view of fisheries issues.”
Supported by US fishermen and dealers in the swordfish, tuna,
shark, mahi mahi, and other highly migratory species (HMS) fisheries,
the institute is now providing information on the ongoing progress
longliners have made in bycatch reduction, the health aspects
of seafood consumption, and where the fishery is and where it’s
headed in terms of sustainable management.
“Ocean issues in general and living marine resource management
issues in particular tend to be very complex,” the institute
said in its premier newsletter. “With increasing media exposure,
there has been a tendency to simplify — in many cases oversimplify
— and to sensationalize anything dealing with the oceans
and with anthropomorphic (manmade) impacts on them.”

Northeast Consortium Seeks Cooperative Research Projects For Fall 2003
|
|
Do you have an idea or concept you would like to test
or a new gear configuration to try?
The Northeast Consortium (NEC) has issued a request for proposals to provide grants of up to $25,000 toward projects that test the feasibility of a new idea, try out new and experimental gear, or otherwise lay the groundwork for new cooperative research projects.
This is a great opportunity to get funding for a creative solution you may want to prototype. NEC has reserved $250,000 in Cooperative Research funds for Project Development awards. These projects will be selected based upon a short letter Proposal.
The Northeast Consortium especially encourages letters from fishermen. While NEC aims for a cooperative research program-wide balance in its funding allocation of 75% to industry participants and 25% to research participants, a 75/25 split is not required for Project Development Awards. At the same time, fishermen participation in cooperative research is central to NEC's mission.
Letter proposals must be received by 4:30pm, Friday, October 17, 2003.
For full details about how to apply for funds, view the RFP here or you can directly contact Troy Hartley: 603-862-1729 or Rollie Barnaby: 603-679-5616.
