WOODS HOLE – Fishing regulators are now accepting proposals for the upcoming 2018-2019 sea scallop research program.
Projects funded under the program need to enhance information on the scallop resource or contribute to fishery management decisions.
NOAA Fisheries and the New England Fishery Management Council use proceeds from the sale of set-aside scallops to fund the research and compensate vessels that take part in research activities.
The deadline to submit proposals and applications is November 6 at 5 p.m. For more information, contact Cheryl Corbett at 508-495-2070.
