Calling all citizen scientists! Do you work with students and/or community members? Are you working on a Bristlemouth project that could be used to monitor fishery and/or ecosystem health?
For example…

  • integrating a receiver to track acoustically tagged fish?
  • integrating a camera to take underwater photos?
  • measuring water quality and other indicators of ecosystem health?

… If so, you can apply for funding from NOAA of $75,000 to $200,000 per project over a two-year period!

The full announcement is here: Lock

From the announcement:
The principal objective of this funding announcement is to support citizen science projects that can help inform federal fishery stock assessments and climate-ready fisheries management. Funding will prioritize projects that: provide information for use in stock assessments and increase understanding of current and/or future impacts of climate change on fish stocks and/or fishing communities.

Hi, we have been working on methods of improving the marine ecosystem for several years now and if you need our help, please contact us. As for financing, it may not work out since we are in Portugal.
