The NOAA Fisheries Service Pacific Islands Regional Office (PIRO) is responsible for the conservation, development and management of marine resources in the U.S. Territorial Sea and the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) throughout the Pacific including Hawaii, American Samoa, Guam and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands.  The Grants Program within the State, Federal and Constituent Program Office administers a broad range of financial assistance and program partnership activities directed at supporting the core mission of the NOAA Fisheries Service. 

The PIRO Grants Program supports the NOAA Fisheries Service mission through competitive and noncompetitive grants, and cooperative financial assistance programs.  Grant programs funded through PIRO include: Western Pacific Fisheries Information Network, Interjurisdictional Fisheries Act, Western Pacific Fishery Management Council, Saltonstall-Kennedy Grant Program, Native Fishery Observer Program, coral reef conservation projects, and sea turtle management projects.

The PIRO Grants Program fact sheet is a basic overview of NOAA Fisheries grants in the Pacific Islands.  More specific grant information, forms, and reports are found in the Grants Program Toolkit section.  For more assistance, contact the PIRO Grants Program office.
