NMFS requests scallop research proposals to
utilize Atlantic sea scallop (scallop) total allowable catch (TAC) and
Days-at-Sea (DAS) that have been set-aside by the New England Fishery
Management Council (Council) to fund scallop research endeavors through
/>
the 2009 Atlantic Sea Scallop Research Set-Aside Program (Scallop RSA
Program).
NMFS is requesting proposals for research activities for FY
200 9. No Federal funds are provided for research under this
notification.
Rather, the Scallop RSA Program funds scallop research and
compensates participating vessels through the sale of scallops
harvested under the research set-aside quota.
Priority will be given to
scallop research proposals that investigate research priorities
identified by the Council and detailed under the Program Priorities
section of the FFO.
