After 40 successful years of addressing the research needs of the seafood community, the Fisheries Scholarship Fund is evolving into the Seafood Industry Research Fund (SIRF).
“The retiring chair, Murry Berger, has always known that the research made possible through the Fund would help the seafood industry effectively tackle challenges and provide vital data for the seafood community that would help it grow, advance and create the best possible products,” Mr Kolen said. “Moving forward, one of SIRF’s new goals will be to increase the amount of research we’re able to support, and we’ll be focusing more energy on expanding our funds through grants and multi-year commitments, while getting other industry groups involved.”
