2010 Mid-Atlantic Research Set-Aside (RSA)

NMFS, in cooperation with the Mid-Atlantic

Fishery Management Council (Council), is soliciting proposals under the

2010 Mid-Atlantic Research Set-Aside (RSA) Program that address

research priorities concerning the summer flounder, scup, black sea

bass,

Loligo squid, Illex squid, Atlantic mackerel, butterfish,

bluefish, and tilefish fisheries.

The Mid-Atlantic RSA Program was

created by the Council as a vehicle to fund research projects through

the sale of research quota.

Under this program, the Council may set

aside up to 3 percent of the total allowable landings (TAL) from the

above listed species to fund selected projects.

Proceeds from the sale

of research quota are used to pay for research costs and to compensate

fishing vessels that harvest research quota.

Participating vessels may be authorized to harvest and land fish in

excess of Federal possession limits and/or during fishery closures.

No

Federal funds are provided for research under this notification.

NMFS

and the Council will give priority to funding proposals addressing the

research needs identified in Section I-B of this document.
