This Federal Funding Opportunity includes information on application and criteria for aquaculture extension projects requesting a total of $50,000 to $300,000 in federal funding for up to a three-year period. Matching funds are required. Aquaculture extension is expected to be conducted in cooperation and partnership with state and Federal aquaculture agencies and regional management efforts.

Some projects selected in this competition may be awarded in FY 2011 or FY 2012 and funded with FY 2011 or FY 2012 funds.
