Best Fisheries Grants in Guam

The Steven Berkeley Marine Conservation Fellowship, established by the American Fisheries Society in 2007, honors a dedicated fisheries scientist. This $15,000 award supports graduate students engaged in thesis research on marine conservation topics. Applicants must be enrolled in a North American university's M.S. or Ph.D. program and be AFS members in good standing. The fellowship encourages innovative research addressing various conservation issues, not limited to fisheries.

Focused on fisheries data and monitoring, National Fish and Wildlife Foundation invites Guam fisheries and related organizations to seek support for electronic monitoring and reporting projects. Eligible U.S. state or federal fisheries can request US $200,000 - US $500,000 to modernize data systems, improve data quality and access, and engage fishermen in data collection.

Watershed and fisheries conservation organizations working on trout and salmon habitat restoration in Guam and across North America can receive matching grants up to US $5,000 for specific projects. Grants from Trout and Salmon Foundation help fund physical stream and fisheries habitat improvements, with on-site labor sometimes counting toward the match.

Organizations planning fish passage and aquatic connectivity projects in Guam and nationwide can apply for US $500 - US $2,000,000 in technical and financial support from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Focused on fisheries and fish conservation, this program funds work like dam removals, culvert replacements, and fishway installations that advance federal trust resources.

Eligible organizations planning on-the-ground fish habitat enhancement projects in reservoirs, including work benefiting Guam fisheries, can apply for large grants from Friends of Reservoirs. With a mission to improve reservoir ecosystems, this program provides up to US $100,000 to address large-scale habitat issues, implement best practices, and enhance ecological function and recreational fishing.
