Opportunity Summary:
The 2013 Pacific Islands Region Marine Turtle Recovery Program was a competitive NOAA National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) funding opportunity aimed at supporting on-the-ground conservation, protection, and management actions that help recover sea turtle species listed under the U.S. Endangered Species Act (ESA). The program focused on sea turtle populations occurring within the Pacific Islands Region (PIR), as well as turtle aggregations shared between the PIR and other Pacific nations. A key feature of this opportunity was that it was not limited strictly to projects inside U.S. waters; NOAA/NMFS also indicated interest in internationally based projects when they address Western and Central Pacific populations that migrate through or forage within the PIR, are affected by activities managed by NOAA/NMFS in the region, or otherwise directly support NOAA/NMFS management and recovery responsibilities.
The geographic scope of the PIR was clearly defined to include the exclusive economic zones adjacent to Hawaii and the U.S. Pacific territories of American Samoa, Guam, and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI). It also included the U.S. Pacific Remote Island Areas (PRIAs), specifically Jarvis, Johnston, Wake, Howland and Baker Islands, Kingman Reef, and Palmyra and Midway Atolls. The program targeted ESA-listed sea turtle species with documented biological linkages to this region: leatherback (Dermochelys coriacea), hawksbill (Eretmochelys imbricata), North and South Pacific loggerhead distinct population segments (Caretta caretta), green (Chelonia mydas), and olive ridley (Lepidochelys olivacea). In practical terms, the opportunity was intended to fund efforts that measurably reduce threats and improve conservation outcomes for these species across nesting, migration, and foraging areas connected to the PIR.
From an administrative and funding standpoint, the opportunity was issued by the U.S. Department of Commerce through NOAA/NMFS as a discretionary grant/cooperative agreement program under CFDA 11.454 (Unallied Management Projects). NOAA anticipated making around five awards, with an estimated total funding amount of $500,000. Individual awards could be as high as $100,000, with no stated minimum award floor. There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement, which lowered the barrier for applicants that might not have access to non-federal match funds. Applications were posted on January 24, 2013, and were due by March 25, 2013, with the opportunity later archived on April 24, 2013.
Eligibility was broad and included individuals, universities and other institutions of higher education, nonprofit organizations, commercial (for-profit) organizations, foreign institutions and foreign organizations, and state, local, and tribal governments. This wide eligibility reflected the program's intent to support a range of capable partners, including those outside the United States when projects were relevant to PIR turtle populations and NOAA/NMFS recovery obligations. For technical issues accessing the full announcement, the listed contact was Ms. Kara Miller at the NOAA/NMFS Pacific Islands Regional Office in Honolulu, Hawaii (phone: 808-944-2147).
