Sea Pact, a new coalition of seafood industry leaders, is now accepting its first Request for Grant Proposals.
The organisation is working to advance sustainable fisheries and aquaculture practices through a grant process that awards funds to projects that are most aligned with their mission. Sea Pact aims to select a project in line with its goals and says that Fishery and Aquaculture Improvement Projects, habitat restoration efforts, scientific research and other projects are encouraged to apply.
“We hope to create meaningful change in the industry,” says Logan Kock, Vice President of Strategic Purchasing & Responsible Sourcing at Santa Monica Seafood and Chairman of the Sea Pact Board of Directors. “This RFP is an opportunity for our organisation to learn about projects currently impacting our industry, and to pick the one that we feel will have the most influence.”
Responses are due by 4 October 2013 and the grant recipients will be announced in November.
To apply for funding, organisations are asked to fill out the Grant Proposal form on the Sea Pact website.
