Oceanic whitetip sharks, once abundant across the globe, are now listed as threatened under the Endangered Species Act. However, a forthcoming recovery plan is designed to help bring this species back from the brink.
For the fiscal year 2024, 66 proposals were received from 21 states and 1 Tribe. The total amount of federal funding requested was $8,262,854. These proposals met the minimum requirements and will be considered for funding.
Prescott Marine Mammal Rescue Assistance Grants will provide important federal funding to our marine mammal health and emergency response partners in 20 states and one tribe for fiscal year 2023.
