This grant, offered by NOAA Fisheries Service on behalf of the Estuary Habitat Restoration Council, is designed to fund estuary habitat restoration projects. Proposals are sought for initiatives that actively address the potential effects of sea level change and other climate change impacts, ensuring project viability and integrating climate change information into their design for long-term robustness. Successful projects must demonstrate significant ecosystem benefits, possess strong scientific merit, be technically feasible, and prove cost-effective. Funding, subject to availability from NOAA and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, is anticipated to total up to $7 million, with individual awards expected to range between $100,000 and $1 million for qualified restoration efforts.

| Description: | On behalf of the Estuary Habitat Restoration Council (Council), NOAA Fisheries Service is soliciting proposals for estuary habitat restoration projects. This year Congress is anticipated to appropriate limited funds to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) for implementation of the Estuary Habitat Restoration Program as authorized in Section 104 of the Estuary Restoration Act of 2000, Title I of the Estuaries and Clean Waters Act of 2000 (Pub. L. 106-457) (accessible at http://www.usace.army.mil/CECW/ERA/Pages/home.aspx). The Council requests that all proposals address the potential effects of sea level change and other impacts related to climate change as they relate to the viability of the proposed restoration. Projects should demonstrate that climate change information has been or will be integrated into project design, and that the project overall is robust to climate change. Selected projects must provide ecosystem benefits, have scientific merit, be technically feasible, and be cost-effective. Proposals selected for Estuary Habitat Restoration Program funding may be implemented in accordance with a cost-share agreement with the Corps; or a cooperative agreement with the Corps or NOAA, subject to availability of funds. The Council anticipates up to $7 million may be available for estuarine habitat restoration; awards are expected to range between $100,000 and $1 million. |
