May 29, 2024 — The administration of U.S. President Joe Biden has awarded USD 20 million (EUR 19 million) in Inflation Reduction Act funding to regional fishery management councils around the country as part of its ongoing Investing in America agenda.
“Regional fishery management councils are some of NOAA’s most critical partners that help develop conservation and management measures for our nation’s marine fisheries,” U.S. Secretary of Commerce Gina Raimondo said. “This USD 20 million investment, made possible thanks to President Biden’s historic Inflation Reduction Act, will support councils in their important work to incorporate fishery management measures and processes necessary to improve climate resiliency and responsiveness as we tackle the impacts of climate change.”
