The Massachusetts Division of Marine Fisheries is seeking commercial fishers to participate in the On-Demand Gear Grant and Research Program for 2027.

Eligible participants must hold 2026 commercial permits and be willing to operate under a Massachusetts Division of Marine Fisheries Exempted Fishing Permit or a Letter of Authorization. The program offers reimbursements up to 50,000 dollars for fixed gear fishers to cover costs for on-demand gear, through-hull transducers, satellite communication systems, and related software. Mobile gear fishers are eligible for reimbursements up to 6,000 dollars for virtual gear marking technology. In exchange for funding, grantees must acquire and use the specified technology and submit monthly performance reports from February through May 2027. Applications are accepted via email until funds are exhausted, with a bid opening date of November 27, 2027. Selection preference is given to vessels with a documented history of fishing in the restricted areas prior to the implementation of closures in 2015 and 2021. Contracts will last for two years from the date of execution.
