CFDA 19.204: Fishermen's Guaranty Fund
To provide for reimbursement of losses incurred as a result of the seizure of a U.S.
Objectives
To provide for reimbursement of losses incurred as a result of the seizure of a U.S. commercial fishing vessel by a foreign country on the basis of rights or claims in territorial waters or on the high seas, which are not recognized by the United States. Effective November 28, 1990, the United States acknowledges the authority of coastal States to manage highly migratory species, thus reducing the basis for valid claims under the Fishermen's Protective Act.
Eligible applicants
Must be a U.S. citizen and the owner or charterer of a fishing vessel documented as such by the United States. Reimbursement of losses and costs (other than fines, license fees, registration fees and other direct costs which are reimbursable through the Secretary of State) incurred as a result of seizure. The vessel must be documented or certified under the laws of the United States.
