Arctic Yukon Kuskokwim Tribal Research and Restoration Program

Bering Sea Fishermens Association manages the coordination and administration of PCSRF funded projects for the Arctic-Yukon-Kuskokwim Tribal Consortium.
Projects funded through this process involve cooperation and or collaboration with tribal, private, federal and state partners. Primary duties under this project include coordinating the annual PCSRF application using the federal government process, writing and amending subcontracts with grant recipients, maintaining the PCSRF database, reports to the AYK SSI partners, budget tracking by project, financial management, gathering individual progress reports and submitting comprehensive progress reports to NOAA Fisheries, coordinating the project selection process and audit compliance process. The project also allows for staff participation in all NOAA Fisheries events regarding planning, implementation, region-wide coordination, and reporting of PCSRF efforts.

Administration of the TRRP will benefit salmonids through the AYK SSI research priorities to conserve and recover salmon stocks in the AYK.
