Description

The purpose of this notice is to solicit financial assistance applications that will support state and national management goals through the creation of Sustainable Coral Reef Fisheries Management Plans (CR-FMPs) across the Hawaiian Islands. The applicant will work closely with partners at the State of Hawaii’s Division of Aquatic Resources (DAR) and NOAA Pacific Island Regional Office (PIRO) to support development of CR-FMPs as part of the State’s Holomua Initiative. The State will lead this process, driven by local, island-based Navigator Teams; this award will focus on providing technical support and creating decision making tools to aid this process. These funds will be utilized specifically to support technical writing needs in Lana‘i, Hawai‘i Island, Kauai, and O¿ahu CR-FMPs, in coordination with DAR. CR-FMPs will identify specific management actions that will contribute to reaching locally identified sustainable fisheries management targets on each island. Funds may also be used to support data integration needs from each island, or in the creation of decision support tools to assist island based Navigator Teams to make science based decisions on sustainable fishing targets for their place. Applications submitted to this funding opportunity should propose work plans over a duration of no more than 36 months (3 years). Each application should not request more than $200,000 in Federal funds per fiscal year, for a total of no more than $600,000. Applications are expected to be submitted by entities with a physical presence and long-term partnerships in Hawai’i, and applicants should have demonstrated experience working across diverse partnerships and with Native Hawaiian organizations.
