NOAA Fisheries is recommending 40 projects for over $11 million under the 2023 Saltonstall-Kennedy (S-K) Competitive Grants Program. The list of projects is available online. In the Greater Atlantic there are 14 projects for $3,720,532.00
The goal of the S-K program is to fund projects that address the needs of fishing communities, optimize economic benefits by building and maintaining sustainable fisheries, and increase other opportunities to keep working waterfronts viable.
The projects fall into two priority areas: Promotion, Development, and Marketing; and Science or Technology that Promotes Sustainable U.S. Seafood Production and Harvesting.
At this point in the selection process, the application approval and recommended funding is not final. Divisions of NOAA and the Department of Commerce must still give final approval before successful applicants receive funding.
