[SEMCO] Funding Opportunity for Research on American Lobster

[Stephanie Murphy]

The National Sea Grant program announced a funding opportunity for its
American Lobster Research Program, which will support research to address
critical gaps in knowledge about how the American Lobster and its fishery
is being impacted by environmental change. Research topics suitable for
study on American lobster under this Federal Funding Opportunity (FFO)
should have a geographic focus of the Gulf of Maine and/or Georges Bank and
address one or more of the following: (1) Increased understanding of life
history parameters, including but not limited to, migration, growth, and
maturity; (2) Larval studies and early biology; (3) Spatial distribution;
and (4) Socio-economic lessons learned from Southern New England as they
pertain to Georges Bank and the Gulf of Maine. For each research topic
above, special emphasis may be placed on the impact of warming temperatures.
 Pending appropriation of funds, Sea Grant anticipates awarding between
5-10 research projects totaling between $1 million and $2 million in
FY2019. Projects must have a maximum duration of two years.Proposals are
due in grants.gov on April 11, 2019. More information is available on the
