The 2022 American Lobster Research Program is seeking applications from 
research teams and others that encourage partnerships between state 
agencies, academia, and/or industry stakeholders that address the 
program priorities listed below.

(1) Development and operationalization of gear technologies, including 
sub-sea gear location that help industry comply with the requirements 
set forth in the final 2021 rule (FR–210827–0171) to the Atlantic Large 
Whale Take Reduction Plan (ALWTRP)

social, economic, and technological opportunities and/or barriers 
associated with bringing gear technology to commercial scale in the 
lobster fishery in the Gulf of Maine, Georges Bank, and/or southern New 
England.

Sea Grant anticipates having up to $2 million dollars to fund a diverse
