- Description
- The Central Region Administrative Division (CRAD), National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), has a requirement for support services for a Derelict Crab Trap Recovery Effort, Oregon. The Contractor shall be required to provide: 1. Recover lost crab traps from two locations of heavy commercial crabbing, and identify marine species caught in the traps in individual ?sweeps? in the fall of 2007, Spring 2008, and Fall 2008. 2. Hold a public demonstration and media event in conjunction with one of the ?sweeps.? This second objective will serve to generate more attention for marine debris recovery and prevention, increase public awareness of marine debris as a problem, give credit to the commercial fishing industry for their efforts at habitat protection, and stimulate technology transfer to other regions facing similar derelict gear problems; and, 3. Analyze data and write report. The government is aware of only one source for this service ?
