PASADENA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Tetra Tech, Inc. (NASDAQ: TTEK) announced today that the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) awarded the Company a $20 million contract to improve fisheries management and enhance the health and resilience of Southeast Asia’s marine ecosystems. The region depends heavily on marine and coastal fisheries for food and economic growth, and fish stocks are in a state of decline. To make informed management decisions, countries need additional data regarding fisheries, including catch data and information on related economic, social, and environmental pressures.
Under the five-year USAID Oceans contract, Tetra Tech will support the development of a regional electronic Catch Documentation and Traceability (e-CDT) system for sustainable fisheries. The e-CDT will provide a platform to collect and analyze environmental and economic data. Tetra Tech will train local and regional institutions to use the e-CDT to improve fisheries using an ecosystem approach to fisheries management.
“Tetra Tech is pleased to continue more than two decades of support to USAID in their mission to improve fisheries management and conserve marine resources and biodiversity in Southeast Asia,” said Dan Batrack, Tetra Tech’s Chairman and CEO.
