Opportunity Summary:
The FY14-16 CRCP Fishery Management Council Coral Reef Conservation Cooperative Agreements opportunity (FMCCRCCA) is a NOAA-led funding program under the Department of Commerce designed to help U.S. Regional Fishery Management Councils conserve and sustainably manage coral reef fisheries. The program is authorized by the Coral Reef Conservation Act of 2000 and is meant to support practical, management-focused projects that improve how coral reef fishery resources and their habitats are understood, protected, and regulated.
At its core, the opportunity targets three main types of work. First, it supports projects that strengthen the scientific foundation for management by improving information on the status of coral reef fishery resources, identifying and characterizing critical habitats important to coral reef fishes, and documenting how fishing affects both reef species and reef habitats. Second, it funds efforts to develop and test new or improved management approaches that better protect coral reef biodiversity and overall ecosystem function, especially through the regulation of fishing and other extractive uses. Third, it emphasizes turning conservation ideas into enforceable policy by incorporating sustainable management measures into existing or newly developed Federal fishery management plans for coral reef species.
Funding is awarded through cooperative agreements rather than standard grants, which signals that NOAA expects to be actively involved during project implementation. NOAA, through the Coral Reef Conservation Program (CRCP) and NOAA Fisheries, plays a collaborative role by helping identify high-value projects that reduce fishing impacts on coral reef ecosystems, strengthening project development and execution, and assisting with coordination among Federal, state, territorial, or commonwealth management authorities as well as stakeholder and user groups connected to coral reefs. This structure is meant to ensure that funded projects are not just research exercises, but efforts that can be translated into real-world management actions and aligned across jurisdictions.
For FY 2014, NOAA expected approximately $1,250,000 total to be available for this program, with an anticipated 10 awards. Individual awards were expected to fall between $125,000 (award floor) and $500,000 (award ceiling). Cost sharing or matching was required. Continued funding beyond initial periods was not guaranteed and would depend on future Congressional appropriations, NOAA and CRCP priorities, and strong performance by the recipient during the first year or years of the award.
Eligibility was tightly limited to specific Regional Fishery Management Councils: the Caribbean Fishery Management Council, the Gulf of Mexico Fishery Management Council, the South Atlantic Fishery Management Council, and the Western Pacific Regional Fishery Management Council. The opportunity was categorized as discretionary funding, using a cooperative agreement funding instrument, and aligned with environment, science and technology, and research and development activities. The CFDA listing associated with the program was 11.441 (Regional Fishery Management Councils).
Key administrative details include the funding opportunity number NOAA-NMFS-HCPO-2014-2003825, a posted and created date of August 8, 2013, and an application deadline of November 4, 2013 (with an archive date of December 4, 2013). For access issues with the full announcement, the listed contact was Elizabeth Fairey at the NOAA Coral Reef Conservation Program, NOAA Fisheries Office of Habitat Conservation, located in Silver Spring, Maryland, with a phone contact of 301-427-8632.
