Request for Proposals, Large Whale Gear Competition; Due February 15
The National Fish and Wildlife Foundation (NFWF), in cooperation with NOAA Fisheries Service, the Northeast Consortium, and the Gulf of Maine Lobster Foundation, recently announced a Request for Proposals for the Large Whale Gear Competition.

The program is open internationally to all who meet the eligibility criteria.
Grants of up to US$10,000 are available, as well as travel stipends, to build gear prototypes and to test the gear at sea with commercial fishermen in New England. An additional grant of up to US$50,000 will be awarded to the team that designs and tests a prototype that shows the most promise. The deadline for submitting a pre-proposal through NFWF’s online application system is February 15, 2005.
