Cooperative Agreement
Overview
Grant Description
It is expected these funds will support NARW-related research, monitoring, enforcement, and conservation efforts. The importance of increasing NARW monitoring to better understand species abundance and distribution is a critical part of this project.
The monitoring efforts in the Gulf of Maine, including for aerial surveys, vessel surveys, passive acoustic monitoring, habitat and plankton monitoring, habitat modeling, and whale tagging, in conjunction with states and other relevant stakeholders will assist in the development of dynamic management strategies.
Continued development of innovative gear technology, and research focusing on real world compatibility between NARW protection and the prosecution of commercial fisheries is fundamental to the success of this project. This research will include topics such as gear detection and conflict avoidance, as well as lobster fishery gear compliance and enforcement.
It is anticipated that NOAA and the states will collaborate with other stakeholders.
