Sea Grant announces funding opportunity to support American lobster 
research

March 22, 2023

2023 American Lobster Research Program Funding Opportunity Now Open

Sea Grant announces a new funding opportunity for collaborative projects 
that address priority research needs to enhance our understanding of and 
address impacts to the American lobster fishery in the Gulf of Maine, 
Georges Bank, and southern New England.

The program seeks applications from research teams and encourages 
partnerships between industry, State agencies, and/or academia that 
address American lobster population dynamics, life history parameters, 
species interactions and behavior, and/or social, behavioral, or 
economic research, including analyses regarding measures under 
consideration for inclusion in the Atlantic Large Whale Take Reduction Plan.

Sea Grant anticipates having up to $2 million dollars to fund a 
diversity of projects with funding requests up to $500k in FY 2023. 
Projects may be one or two years in duration with a maximum of two 
years. Non-federal matching funds equal to at least 50 percent of the 
federal funding request must be provided.
