- Description
- RFQ-PIFSC-10-036 The U.S. Department of Commerce (DOC), National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), Pacific Islands Fisheries Science Center, located in Honolulu, HI. intends to issue a fixed price purchase order for the Sea turtle bycatch reduction research and outreach in Vietnam. To assist the recovery of sea turtle populations, it is NOAA's goal to identify alternate fishing methods that reduce incidental turtle hooking and entanglement. Ultimately, such methods may be promoted in commercial fisheries around the world. Additionally, it is imperative that these goals and effective mitigation methods be communicated throughout the fishing industry in order to increase adoption of sustainable fishing practices throughout the world, specifically in Vietnam and other countries where commercial fisheries are on the rise. As such, NOAA seeks a contractor that will coordinate and conduct longline fishing field trials to test alternative fishing gear to determine the efficacy of such gear on capture rate of target and non-target, or bycatch species. Specifically, we seek a contractor to implement an experiment to test circle hooks as compared to traditional gear in a Vietnamese Tuna long line fishery to compare capture rates by hook type (circle vs. tradition hook) of target species such as tunas and non-target species such as sea turtles, sharks and rays. The anticipated performance period is date of award through September 14, 2011. To be considered, firms must furnish detailed information concerning their capability to provide service. Such information shall include, at a minimum, name, telephone number and address of concerns for which you have furnished this service previously.
