AI Contract Overview

The contract involves a sole source negotiation with the Virginia Institute of Marine Science (VIMS) on behalf of the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) under the Department of Commerce. The focus is on research studying sensory physiology and behavior of sea turtles and pelagic fish to develop methods that minimize or prevent interactions between sea turtles and longline fishing gear. VIMS brings extensive experience, having managed the Sea Turtle Stranding Program and Virginia Sea Turtle Stranding Network since 1979, with a comprehensive 22-year database of sea turtle strandings. The NMFS Project Manager will collaborate closely with Dr. Richard Brill, who has been the leading figure in the development of the sea turtle and pelagic fish sensory biology research program since its start. This acquisition is categorized as a simplified contract with an estimated value below $100,000. The contract is intended to support advancing techniques that protect sea turtles from harmful fishing interactions while maintaining responsible marine resource management. Inquiries about the contract can be directed to Randall Brown at the Department of Commerce's NOAA office in Seattle, Washington.
