Sea Pact has announced its second Request for Grant Proposals and is inviting Fishery and Aquaculture Improvement Projects, habitat restoration efforts, scientific research and other projects to apply for funding.
Responses are due by 28 January 2014 and Sea Pact will announce the grant recipients in
March 2014. To apply for funding, organisations are asked to fill out the RFP document available on the Sea Pact website.
“The entire RFP process is enlightening,” said Logan Kock, Vice President of Strategic Purchasing & Responsible Sourcing at Santa Monica Seafood and Chair of the Sea Pact Advisory Committee. “Our group learns something from every proposal, whether we fund them or not. There is so much exciting work going on in all sectors of our industry, and we’re looking forward to funding some great projects through this next round of proposals.”
Sea Pact is a coalition of seafood distributors with the aim of advancing environmentally sustainable fisheries and aquaculture practices by financially contributing to improve the fishing and fish farming systems from which they procure.
