The People Propel Program will also assist CVRF residents in buying new fishing nets and commercial fishing permits. By bulk-purchasing boats, motors and nets, CVRF is achieving economies of scale and bringing down prices for our residents. Additionally, Coastal is contributing CVRF resources to make the prices lower. Residents can expect prices for the People Propel boats, motors and nets to be significantly below retail prices and to include transportation to their villages. Fishing permits will not be subsidized, but through the People Propel Program low-interest loans will be available to purchase permits as well as other equipment available through the program. The CVRF People Propel Program was launched in 2012 with boating safety equipment that was provided to CVRF region residents. Through the People Propel Program, Coastal hopes to honor all of those from our villages who have lost their lives while boating by making boating safer for our residents in the future. The CVRF Board will decide in July of 2013 the details for the second round of People Propel items. wHo MaY aPPlY foR PeoPle PRoPel Boats/ oUtBoaRDs/nets/PeRMits/loans?
