USAID Awards Tetra Tech $20 Million Oceans and Fisheries Partnership Contract

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.
