Program
The National Fish and Wildlife Foundation’s Fisheries Innovation Fund supports effective participation of fishermen and fishing communities in the implementation of sustainable fisheries in the United States. The Fisheries Innovation Fund houses multiple programs with distinct requests for proposals (RFP) to work towards sustainable fisheries in the United States: an Electronic Monitoring and Reporting Grant Program RFP released annually, and a New England Gear Innovation Fund RFP. There is also a Fisheries Innovation Fund RFP that was released annually from 2010 through 2019, and NFWF is exploring opportunities for future years of this RFP.
