OpportunityTitle: NOAA Great Lakes Habitat Restoration Program Project Grants under the U.S. Great Lakes Restoration Initiative in Areas of Concern
Description: The principal objective of these NOAA RC Project Grants is to provide federal financial and technical assistance to &quot;ready-to-go&quot; projects in U.S. Great Lakes Areas of Concern that meet NOAA&apos;s mission to restore coastal habitats and that support the Great Lakes Regional Collaboration Strategy (http://glrc.us/strategy.html). Successful applications, both engineering and design and implementation, should provide information on how when implemented the project will: (1) contribute to the delisting of fish and wildlife related beneficial use impairments in Great Lakes Areas of Concern; (2) yield significant ecological benefits especially benefits that will be robust to potential climate change impacts to the region; (3) are shovel-ready; (4) document community benefits such as improved opportunities for recreation, park use, or other tangible community benefits; and (5) demonstrate collaboration among entities such as public and nonprofit organizations, citizen and watershed groups, industry, corporations and businesses, youth conservation corps, students, landowners, academia, and local government, state, and federal agencies to cooperatively implement coastal habitat restoration projects.
