NOAA is offering the Great Lakes Areas of Concern Land Acquisition Grant to provide federal financial and technical assistance. This grant is for acquiring land (fee simple or conservation easements) within U.S. Great Lakes Areas of Concern and their associated watersheds. The primary purpose is to protect and restore coastal habitats, aligning with the Great Lakes Regional Collaboration Strategy and Restoration Initiative. Projects should be ‘ready-to-go’ and completed within 18 months. Eligible applicants include lead agencies for approved coastal zone management programs, local governments, or CZMA-eligible entities with land acquisition authority. Successful proposals will contribute to delisting fish and wildlife habitat impairments, yield significant ecological benefits, and document community benefits like improved recreation and open space.
