THE PROGRAM IS DESIGNED TO OFFSET THE EXPENSE OF EVER-INCREASING INTEREST RATES FOR RESIDENT FISHERS SO THAT THEY MAY REINVEST IN THEIR FISHING OPERATIONS. MOST PARTICIPANTS REPORTED THAT THE LOAN AND SAVINGS GAINED FROM THE IRA WERE INVESTED IN IMPROVEMENTS TO THEIR VESSELS AND ADDED GEAR; ALL OF WHICH MAKES RESIDENT FISHING OPERATIONS MORE PROFITABLE AND RESULTS IN MORE ECONOMIC BENEFIT TO THE REGION. GRANT WRITING ASSISTANCEBRISTOL BAY COMMUNITIES RELY ON FEDERAL, STATE AND PRIVATE GRANTING SOURCES FOR THE DEVELOPMENT AND REPLACEMENT OF CRITICAL COMMUNITY INFRASTRUCTURE AS WELL AS FOR DEVELOPMENT THAT RESULTS IN INCOME GENERATING OPPORTUNITIES FOR RESIDENTS.

• REGIONAL FISHING DEVELOPMENT - SEE SCHEDULE OVESSEL UPGRADE GRANT PROGRAMAS THE BRISTOL BAY SALMON FLEET CONTINUES TO ADVANCE IN THEIR TECHNOLOGY AND HARVESTING CAPABILITIES, MANY FISHERS CONSIDER UPGRADING THEIR BOATS TO HELP INCREASE FISH QUALITY AND EFFICIENCY OF THEIR OPERATIONS. SOME MAY FLUSH THEIR DECK AND RECONFIGURE FISH HOLDS TO ACCOMMODATE AN RSW SYSTEM. OTHERS MAY NEED TO REPOWER OR UPGRADE DECK GEAR. THE SET NET FLEET MIGHT WELD IN FISH BINS, OR IF THEIR PRIMARY HARVESTING METHOD IS BY VEHICLE, INSTALL A DUMP BED KIT OR PURCHASE NEW RIMS AND TIRES TO BETTER HANDLE ON THE BEACH. THESE ARE JUST A FEW EXAMPLES OF ACCEPTABLE USES OF BBEDC'S VESSEL UPGRADE GRANT. BRISTOL BAY RESIDENT DRIFT OPERATIONS CAN QUALIFY FOR UP TO $35,000, AND LOCAL SET NET OPERATIONS CAN QUALIFY FOR UP TO $17,500 TO HELP OPTIMIZE FISHING OPERATIONS. IN 2022, BBEDC SPENT $277,799 TO HELP SEVENTEEN RESIDENT FISHERS UPGRADE THEIR EQUIPMENTIN-SEASON EMERGENCY PROVISIONTHE IN-SEASON EMERGENCY PROVISION PROVIDES EMERGENCY SUPPORT FOR FISHERMEN WITHIN THE VESSEL UPGRADE GRANT PROGRAM. THE PROVISION ASSISTS RESIDENT FISHERS WITH GETTING BACK ON THE WATER IF THEY EXPERIENCE A CATASTROPHIC ENGINE OR DRIVE TRAIN FAILURE DURING THE SEASON. QUALIFYING RESIDENT DRIFT OPERATIONS CAN ACCESS UP TO $35,000, AND QUALIFYING RESIDENT SET NET OPERATIONS CAN ACCESS UP TO $17,500. APPLICANTS WHO HAVE RECEIVED A VESSEL UPGRADE GRANT IN THE PREVIOUS THREE YEARS MAY NOT BE ELIGIBLE AS THESE PROGRAMS SHARE THE SAME POOL OF FUNDING. IN 2022, BBEDC SPENT $70,000 THROUGH THIS PROVISION TO HELP TWO RESIDENT FISHERS REPLACE THEIR ENGINES AFTER BREAKING DOWN.QUALITY IMPROVEMENT PRODUCTS PROGRAMINSULATED FISH TOTES, SLUSH BAGS, FLEXIBLE SHEET FOAM INSULATION, AND PADDED DECK MATS ARE AVAILABLE FOR LOCAL COMMERCIAL SALMON FISHERS TO HELP ENHANCE THE QUALITY OF THEIR FISH AND INCREASE THE POTENTIAL TO QUALIFY FOR QUALITY BONUSES FROM FISH PROCESSORS. WITH THE INCREDIBLE BAY WIDE CHILLING EFFORTS IMPLEMENTED BY THE FLEET AND THE BAY'S HISTORICAL RECORD RUN, BBEDC WAS HAPPY TO PROVIDE THESE PRODUCTS WHICH POSITIVELY AFFECT THE QUALITY OF BRISTOL BAY SALMON. IN 2022, BBEDC DISTRIBUTED $19,263 WORTH OF QUALITY ENHANCING PRODUCTS TO TEN RESIDENT FISHERS. RSW PURCHASE PROGRAMDELIVERING HIGH QUALITY FISH HAS BECOME INCREASINGLY MORE IMPORTANT IN BRISTOL BAY AND INSTALLING A REFRIGERATED SEA WATER (RSW) SYSTEM CAN HELP FISHERS CHILL THEIR CATCH WITHOUT THE USE OF ICE. RSW SYSTEMS COOL THE WATER IN A VESSEL'S FISH HOLDS TO AN OPTIMUM LOW TEMPERATURE THAT KEEPS THE FISH FRESH. IN TURN, FISHERS DELIVERING PROPERLY CHILLED FISH MAY RECEIVE A CHILLING BONUS FROM THEIR PROCESSOR. THE RSW PURCHASE PROGRAM OFFERS GRANTS OF UP TO $22,000 TO ASSIST QUALIFIED BRISTOL BAY WATERSHED RESIDENT FISHERS WITH THE PURCHASE OF RSW SYSTEMS. PREPARING A VESSEL FOR RSW IS COMPLEX, AND FISHERS MUST HAVE WELL INSULATED FISH HOLDS, ADEQUATE HYDRAULICS, AND PROPER PLUMBING INSTALLED BEFORE BEING APPROVED FOR AN RSW GRANT. BECAUSE OF THIS, RSW PURCHASE PROGRAM APPLICATIONS ARE ACCEPTED YEAR-ROUND. SOME FISHERS ALSO CHOOSE TO USE BBEDC'S VESSEL UPGRADE GRANT PROGRAM TO PREPARE THEIR VESSEL FOR AN RSW SYSTEM. IN 2022, BBEDC DISTRIBUTED ONE RSW GRANT OF $22,000. RSW SUPPORT PROGRAMPROPERLY MAINTAINING A REFRIGERATED SEA WATER (RSW) SYSTEM IS ESSENTIAL TO MANY FISHING OPERATIONS IN BRISTOL BAY, SO BBEDC OFFERS ANNUAL GRANTS OF UP TO $1,000 TO HELP RESIDENT COMMERCIAL FISHERS WITH TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE FOR PRE-SEASON START-UPS, MAINTENANCE, AND WINTERIZATION OF THEIR RSW SYSTEMS. THIS FUNDING CAN ALSO COVER RSW TECHNICIAN TRAVEL COSTS IF FISHERS NEED TO FLY A TECHNICIAN TO THEIR COMMUNITY TO SERVICE A UNIT. IN 2022, TWENTY-THREE RESIDENT FISHERS RECEIVED $17,875 IN GRANT AWARDS TO HELP KEEP THEIR RSW SYSTEMS IN SHIPSHAPE CONDITION. BRISTOL BAY ICE, LLC (BBICE)2022 WAS A RECORD-BREAKING SOCKEYE SALMON SEASON IN BRISTOL BAY. BBEDC'S ICE BARGES, THE BRISTOL MAID AND BRISTOL LADY, WERE ON THE WATER HELPING TO KEEP THE FISH CHILLED. THE BRISTOL MAID WAS STATIONED OFF CLARKS POINT, AND SOLD 644,574 LBS. OF ICE TO FISHERS, AN INCREASE OF 26% FROM 2021. THE BRISTOL LADY SOLD 754,000 LBS. OF ICE IN THE NAKNEK/KVICHAK DISTRICT, A 45% INCREASE FROM 2021. THE INCREASE IN ICE SALES COULD BE ATTRIBUTED TO THE INCREASE IN FISH AND THE TWO BARGES' ABILITY TO MAINTAIN ICE PRODUCTION. BBICE CONTINUES ITS EFFORT TO PURSUE THE GOAL OF INCREASING THE QUALITY AND EX-VESSEL VALUE OF BRISTOL BAY SALMON AND IS ELATED TO HAVE HELPED ICE THE FISH IN THIS RECORD-BREAKING SEASON.FISHERIES HABITAT PROTECTION GRANT2022 WAS A MONUMENTAL YEAR FOR THE FIGHT AGAINST LARGE SCALE METALLIC MINING IN THE BRISTOL BAY REGION. STARTING WITH A MAJOR PUSH FOR THE EPA TO FINALIZE PERMANENT MEASURES TO PROTECT BRISTOL BAY FROM THE PEBBLE MINE BEFORE THE FISHING SEASON KICKED OFF. ALTHOUGH THE EPA DIDN'T MEET THAT DESIRED TIMELINE, THEY FINALIZED THEIR RECOMMENDATION TO PROHIBIT AND RESTRICT THE USE OF CERTAIN WATERS NEAR THE PEBBLE DEPOSIT IN DECEMBER OF 2022;ULTIMATELY LEADING THEM TO FINALIZE THAT DETERMINATION UNDER SECTION 404(C) OF THE CLEAN WATER ACT ON JANUARY 30, 2023. UNITED TRIBES OF BRISTOL BAY (UTBB) AND COMMERCIAL FISHERMEN FOR BRISTOL BAY (CFBB) CONTINUED THEIR EXTRAORDINARY WORK TO PROTECT OUR ONE-OF-A-KIND FISHERIES HABITAT AND BBEDC GRANTED THEM EACH $150,000 TO ASSIST IN THEIR VALIANT EFFORTS.SHORE FISH LEASE GRANT PROGRAMA SHORE FISHERY LEASE ISSUED BY THE ALASKA DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES (DNR) CAN ENHANCE THE INCOME POTENTIAL BY PROVIDING CERTAINTY OF ACCESS TO A SITE FOR ELIGIBLE SET NET FISHING RESIDENTS. THE SHORE FISH LEASE GRANT PROGRAM PROVIDES FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE AND INCENTIVE IN THE FORM OF A GRANT OF UP TO $800 FOR RESIDENT SET NET PERMIT HOLDERS TO NAVIGATE THE COMPLEX AND COST PROHIBITIVE PROCESS OF GAINING A SHORE FISHERY LEASE. A TOTAL OF $800 WAS AWARDED IN GRANTS IN 2022. VESSEL ACQUISITION PROGRAMRESIDENT'S SUCCESS IN THE FISHERY IS DEPENDENT UPON ACCESS TO THE NECESSARY EQUIPMENT, WHICH INCLUDES A VESSEL. ENHANCING THE ABILITY OF RESIDENTS TO OBTAIN A COMPETITIVE AND EFFICIENT VESSEL IS THE FOCUS OF THE VESSEL ACQUISITION PROGRAM. VESSEL MAY ALSO MEAN A LICENSABLE TRUCK PROVIDED THAT THE APPLICANT CAN DEMONSTRATE THAT A VEHICLE IS THE PRIMARY VESSEL FOR THEIR INDIVIDUAL FISHING OPERATION AT THE POINT OF HARVEST AND DELIVERY. THE PROGRAM CAN PROVIDE A DOWN PAYMENT GRANT, INTEREST SUBSIDY, EQUITY ASSISTANCE, RSW INCENTIVE, TRAINING, AND TECHNICAL BUSINESS COUNSELING. APPLICANTS MUST BE ABLE TO OBTAIN A LOAN THROUGH AN ESTABLISHED LENDING INSTITUTE. IN 2022, FOUR RESIDENT DRIFT FISHERS ENTERED THE PROGRAM, BRINGING THE TOTAL CUMULATIVE PROGRAM PARTICIPANTS TO 32. TWENTY-NINE OF THE PARTICIPANTS REMAIN ACTIVE WHILE 3 HAVE GRADUATED FROM THE PROGRAM THE CUMULATIVE INVESTMENT BY BBEDC WAS $392,382 FOR DOWN PAYMENT GRANTS, RSW INCENTIVE AND COMMITTED ANNUAL "SWEAT" EQUITY, AND INTEREST SUBSIDIES. PERMIT LOAN PROGRAMLIMITED ENTRY SALMON PERMITS HELD BY BRISTOL BAY WATERSHED RESIDENTS HAVE DECLINED SINCE THE ORIGINAL INCEPTION IN 1975. THAT DECLINE HAS SEVERELY DIMINISHED THE OVERALL COMMERCIAL SALMON FISHING INCOME GENERATED BY RESIDENTS MAKING OUT-MIGRATION OF PERMITS ONE OF THE MOST DETRIMENTAL ECONOMIC EVENTS IN THE BRISTOL BAY REGION. RETAINING AND RETURNING LIMITED ENTRY PERMITS TO THE REGION CONTINUES TO BE A BBEDC PRIORITY. THE PERMIT LOAN PROGRAM ENHANCES RESIDENTS' ABILITY TO PURCHASE AND SUCCESSFULLY OPERATE A LIMITED ENTRY SALMON PERMIT THROUGH A MENU OF FINANCIAL AND TECHNICAL SERVICES INCLUDING LOAN GUARANTEE, DOWN PAYMENT GRANT, INTEREST ASSISTANCE, PRINCIPAL REDUCTION ASSISTANCE, TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE AND/OR TRAINING TO SUCCESSFUL APPLICANTS. PARTICIPANTS ARE SELECTED THROUGH AN EVALUATIVE PROCESS AND THE PROGRAM IS UNIQUE IN THAT IT IS AVAILABLE TO RESIDENTS OF ALL THE 25 BRISTOL BAY WATERSHED COMMUNITIES. SEVEN NEW PARTICIPANTS WERE ADDED IN 2022 WHICH BROUGHT THE TOTAL CUMULATIVE NUMBER OF PARTICIPANTS TO 73. AS OF 2022, SIXTY-ONE CONTINUE TO PARTICIPATE IN THE PROGRAM. BBEDC INVESTED A TOTAL OF $396,095 FOR NEW ENTRIES, COMMITTED EQUITY ASSISTANCE (SWEAT EQUITY) AND INTEREST SUBSIDY.
