NOAA
announced funding for projects that improve or restore coastal habitat by
strengthening the resilience of U.S. marine and coastal ecosystems, decreasing
the vulnerability of communities to extreme weather, and support sustainable
fisheries. Projects should identify an issue limiting the resiliency of U.S.
marine and coastal ecosystems to extreme weather events or changing
environmental conditions, identify the proposed project’s outcome, describe the
actions and on-the-ground restoration to be undertaken to enhance resiliency and
reduce risk, and describe the measurable impact on the ecosystem and
communities.
