Unfortunately, projects that don’t align with these defined project areas and don’t relate to fisheries, aquaculture, seafood or ocean and freshwater health will not be considered.

How to Apply

Sea Pact no longer has a specific LOI deadline, but is accepting Letters of Interest (LOI’s) on an open basis.

 In order to apply for project funding, applicants must first submit a brief Letter of Interest according to the Letter of Interest (LOI) Guidelines detailed below.

• Please use the following guidelines when developing the LOI.
  • The LOI should be brief, on organizational letterhead, and be 1-2 pages in length.
  • The LOI allows you to briefly state your need before putting in the extra work of completing a full project proposal grant application.
  • The LOI should include a succinct but thorough description of the need or problem you have identified, the proposed solution, and your organization’s qualifications for implementing that solution. Keep in mind you will have the opportunity to share more details about your program/project if a full proposal is requested.
