Opportunity Information: Apply for NOAA NMFS PIRO 2021 2006715
The 2021 Recreational Fisheries Competition for the Pacific Islands is a discretionary funding opportunity from the U.S. Department of Commerce, administered through NOAA's National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS). It is aimed at supporting projects in the Pacific Islands Region, specifically Guam, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, American Samoa, and Hawaii. The basic purpose of the program is to invest in recreational and other non-commercial fishing initiatives that help keep fisheries sustainable over time, support the long-term stability of fish stocks, and preserve cultural fishing traditions that are important to local communities.
Funding is offered through grants and cooperative agreements under CFDA (now commonly referred to as Assistance Listing) 11.454, and the activity focus falls under environment, natural resources, and science and technology research and development. The opportunity is competitive, meaning proposals are evaluated against one another rather than funded automatically, and applicants need to clearly show how their projects will deliver measurable benefits aligned with the program goals. While the eligibility category is listed as "Others," applicants are directed to review the opportunity's additional eligibility language for the specific types of organizations or entities that can apply.
For fiscal year 2021, NMFS anticipated making about five awards. The maximum funding amount per award (the award ceiling) was $30,000, indicating that this program is structured to support smaller, targeted projects that can produce practical improvements or fill key information and capacity gaps in recreational and non-commercial fisheries management. The funding opportunity was posted on October 30, 2020, and the original application deadline was January 27, 2021, under funding opportunity number NOAA NMFS PIRO 2021 2006715.
In practical terms, this competition is designed for projects that strengthen sustainable fishing opportunities in the region, such as efforts that improve management or monitoring for recreational fisheries, support community-based stewardship, reduce pressures on fish stocks, or help maintain culturally significant fishing practices in ways that are compatible with conservation. The emphasis on sustainability and stock stability suggests that proposals would typically need to show how their activities either protect resources directly or improve the information, practices, or community engagement needed to manage fisheries responsibly over the long term.Apply for NOAA NMFS PIRO 2021 2006715
