Description: The National Marine Fisheries Service (NOAA/NMFS) is soliciting competitive applications for the FY2019 Pacific Islands Region Marine Turtle Management and Conservation Program (MTMCP). This program supports conservation, protection, or management actions supporting recovery of Endangered Species Act (ESA) listed sea turtle species occurring within the Pacific Islands Region (PIR) or of aggregations (or species) with linkages to the PIR. Such species may migrate through, nest or forage within the PIR, or are impacted by PIR federally managed activities and relevant to NOAA/NMFS management and recovery obligations. For the FY2019 funding competition, we are soliciting projects located in Hawai&#8217;i, and, for internationally-shared sea turtle populations, projects located in Fiji (for, Central South Pacific Green Turtle Distinct Population Segment), Japan (for, North Pacific Loggerhead Turtle Distinct Population Segment), and the Western Pacific (for nesting or foraging habitats of western Pacific leatherback turtles).
