Kingfisher Foundation
The Kingfisher Foundation works to implement sound fishery management rules and methods that align long term economic prosperity for fishers with good stewardship and sustainable fishing. Themes include rebuilding fish populations, implementing secure access rights, harnessing technology innovations and modern information policies for sound data driven monitoring and management and accountability of commercial and recreational fisheries.
The Kingfisher Foundation supports the Electronic Monitoring and Reporting Grant Program, which aims to develop and implement electronic technology and information infrastructure to improve the timeliness and quality of fisheries data, expand access and availability of data, and increase knowledge of fisheries management and science.
Fisheries Innovation Fund
The National Fish and Wildlife Foundation’s Fisheries Innovation Fund supports effective participation of fishermen and fishing communities in the implementation of sustainable fisheries in the United States. The Fisheries Innovation Fund houses multiple programs with distinct requests for proposals (RFP) to work towards sustainable fisheries in the United States: an Electronic Monitoring and Reporting Grant Program RFP released annually, and a New England Gear Innovation Fund RFP. There is also a Fisheries Innovation Fund RFP that was released annually from 2010 through 2019, and NFWF is exploring opportunities for future years of this RFP.
