Reorganization Plan No. 4 of 1970 became effective October 3, 1970, and
among other things, abolished the Bureau of Commercial Fisheries and
transferred its functions, including the direction and supervision of
its Division of Federal Aid Program, from the Department of the
Interior to the Department of Commerce, National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration, National Marine Fisheries Service.

National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Circular 71-95, effective
October 31, 1971, transferred the functions and staffing of the Division
of Federal Aid to the Office of State-Federal Relationships. Thus, the
former Division of Federal Aid is now known as Grant-In-Aid for Fisheries
Research and Development .

FOREWORD

It has been seven years since the first projects were
initiated in FY 1966 under the Federal Government's
grant-in-aid program for fisheries. Essentially, this
program provides Federal monies to the States on a
matching basis and permits the States to carry out work
of mutual interest that could not otherwise be funded.
Since its inception, the program has expanded with the
advent of new laws and appropriations and it now plays a
significant part in providing the information fisheries
managers at all levels need if they are to make rational
decisions with respect both to status of the stocks and
of the environment. In addition, it has provided capital
outlay funds for a variety of structures supportive to
State research and management efforts.

Three separate acts form the legal basis for the program.
These are P.L. 88-309, the Commercial Fisheries Research
and Development Act of 1964 as amended; P.L. 89-304, the
Anadromous Fish Act of 1965 as amended; and P.L. 89-720,
the Jellyfish Act of 1966 as amended. Legislation has
already been introduced to extend the life of P.L. 88-309,
which has financed a myriad of wery popular and productive
projects, beyond its present expiration date of 30 June 1973

The purpose of this publication is the same as that of its
predecessors: to document and describe all of the projects
that have been carried out under the terms of the three
public laws. We believe the program has been and will
continue to be a fine example of what the States and the
Federal Government can accomplish by working together.

Grant-in-Aid for Fisheries
Program Activities 1972

INTRODUCTION

This is the fifth of a series of annual publications on program activities under the Grant-In-
Aid for fisheries of the Office of State-Federal Relationships, National Marine Fisheries
Service .

Information presented in this report is intended to provide State program coordinators and
administrators, Federal people, project personnel, and others concerned with research,
development, conservation, and management of our fishery resources with a convenient refer-
ence to this grant-in-aid program. This publication will also facilitate planning, coordina-
tion, and integration of State, Federal, and other activities concerned with the fishery
resources .

THE ACTS

The Service's Grant-In-Aid Program is authorized under three Acts:

1. The Commercial Fisheries Research and Development Act of 1964 (P.L. 88-309) as amended -
Authorizes the Secretary of Commerce to cooperate with the 50 States, the Commonwealth of
Puerto Rico, and the Governments of the Virgin Islands, Guam, and American Samoa in carrying
out research and development of the Nation's commercial fisheries. Projects eligible for
funding include research, development, construction, and coordination. Cost-sharing projects
are funded at either a 50 percent or 75 percent level of Federal participation, whereas proj-
ects to alleviate resource disaster and for establishment of new commercial fisheries may be
financed with 100 percent Federal funds. This Act would have expired June 30, 1969; however,
it was extended as written by Public Law 90-551 for an additional 4 years or to June 30, 1973.

2. The Anadromous Fish Act of 1965 (P.L. 89-304) as amended - Authorizes the Secretary of
Commerce to enter into cooperative agreements with States and other non-Federal interests for
the conservation, development, and enhancement of the anadromous fishery resources of the
Nation and the fish in the Great Lakes that ascend streams to spawn. The program is adminis-
tered at the Federal level jointly by the National Marine Fisheries Service and the Bureau of
Sport Fisheries and Wildlife. Federal funds up to 50 percent may be used to finance project
costs. State fishery agencies, colleges, universities, private companies, and other non-
Federal interests in 31 States bordering the oceans and the Great Lakes may participate under
the Act. All projects must be approved by the State fishery agency concerned. This Act
would have expired June 30, 1970; however, it was extended by Public Law 91-249 for an
additional 4 years or to June 30, 1974. The new law establishes a ceiling of the annual
amount that may be appropriated. The total of these amounts for the 4-year period is $32
million. Appropriate funds are available to the program until expended. The new law also
provides that the Federal share of the project cost may be increased to a maximum 60 percent
when two or more States, having a common interest in any basin, jointly enter into a
cooperative agreement with the Secretary.

3. The Jellyfish Act of 1966 (P.L. 89-720) as amended - Authorizes the Secretary of Commerce
to cooperate with the States and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico in controlling and eliminating
jellyfish and other such pests in coastal waters. The costs of projects are funded equally

by the Federal Government and by the States and Puerto Rico. State agencies and
Puerto Rico responsible for the management or administration of fish and shellfish
resources or waterbased recreation programs may participate under the Act. This Act
would have expired June 30, 1970; however, it was extended by Public Law 91-451 for
an additional 3 years or to June 30, 1973.

EXPENDITURES OF FEDERAL FUNDS BY
ACTIVITY AND AUTHORIZATION

Program activities cover various fields, including a broad category of research,
construction, development, coordination, and resource disasters. Fifty-one percent
of the Federal funds are used for research in such areas of fish disease and parasite
control, aquaculture, the environment, basic biology, and life history. Eighteen
percent for construction of research vessels and laboratories, fish hatcheries, fish
screens, and other fish facilities. Twenty percent on exploratory fishing, gear
development, fish products, economics, and other development projects. Eight percent
on coordination and planning. Five percent for resource disasters.

PROJECT TITLES BY STATE AND PUBLIC LAW
WITH OTHER PERTINENT INFORMATION

All 50 States, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, and the Governments of American Samoa,
Guam, and the Virgin Islands are participating in the program under one or more of the
authorizations. Since the start of the program, 687 projects have been initiated at an
estimated total cost (both State and Federal) of nearly $81 million. Of the projects
initiated, 503 have been completed at a total cost of nearly $51 million and 184 are
continuing at various stages of completion at ah estimated total cost of nearly $30
million. The Federal share of project cost is about 67 percent.

Tabulation of completed and continuing projects, including estimated total cost follows:

A list of projects under each authorization by State, including, duration, date completed,
page reference for project narrative, and publications resulting from the project is
tabulated pages 5 through 46. Under Public Law 88-309, project numbers identify the Region
administering the project by the first digit, project number sequence within the Region by
next digit (s), followed by a letter to denote activity as R-research, C-construction,
D -development , and S-coordination and planning, and 4(b) when funded with resource
disaster funds. Under Public Law 89-304, the first two letters "AF" identify the project
as Anadromous fish, with next letter "C" for projects administered by NMFS, or "CS" for
jointly funded projects with BSF&W with NMFS as lead agency, and "SC" for jointly funded
projects with BSF&W as lead agency, followed by number sequence within each Region. Under
Public Law 89-720 the first two letters "JF" identify the project as jellyfish, followed
by the number of the Region administering the project and number sequence within that
Region.

PROGRAM ANALYSIS

For program analysis, projects are grouped under the type of activity undertaken rather than by
State or Public Law. In doing so, the reader has all projects for a particular segment of the
program, such as construction, coordination, planning, or research, in one section.

Under each type of activity, included are project identification, principal investigator, cur-
rent segment cost (both State and Federal) for continuing projects, total cost and year of
completion for completed projects, title, and project narrative.

Request for additional information about a project or for reprints of reports resulting from
the work should be made to the appropriate NMFS Regional Office, State Agency, or Cooperator.
The Regional Offices, State Agencies, and Cooperators, including addresses, are listed on
pages 151 - 154, inclusive.
