The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is offering the FY17-19 Habitat Blueprint – Coastal and Marine Habitat Focus Area Cooperative Agreements to support habitat conservation projects in nine specific Habitat Focus Areas. These projects aim to sustain healthy marine and coastal resources, communities, and economies. Proposals should address habitat conservation goals tailored to each focus area, including protecting managed fisheries and endangered species, enhancing coastal communities, advancing habitat science, and promoting socio-economic benefits. The funding opportunity outlines specific priorities for each area and requires detailed project outcomes, goals, actions, and impact evaluation techniques. Applications should align with the NOAA Habitat Blueprint’s primary objectives to secure a successful grant in this federal funding opportunity.

| Description: | The principal objective of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) FY17-19 Habitat Blueprint – Coastal and Marine Habitat Focus Area Cooperative Agreements solicitation is to identify and support comprehensive and cooperative habitat conservation projects in NOAA Habitat Focus Areas (HFAs) that sustain resilient and thriving marine and coastal resources, communities, and economies. Proposals submitted under this solicitation will be selected based on their ability to demonstrate success in achieving the NOAA Habitat Blueprint’s primary goals within nine of the HFAs: Biscayne Bay, Florida; Choptank River, Maryland/Delaware; Kachemak Bay, Alaska; Manell-Geus, Guam; Muskegon Lake Michigan; Northeast Marine Corridor and Culebra Island, Puerto Rico; Penobscot River, Maine; Russian River, California; and West Hawaii, Hawaii. Specific objectives vary from HFA to HFA, and have been selected to effectively protect and/or restore high-priority habitat for managed fisheries, protected species, and other coastal and marine life; foster resilient coastal communities; advance habitat science; and/or lead to increased socio-economic benefits. HFA – specific priorities are identified in this federal funding opportunity, and successful proposals will: 1) address issues/concerns contributing to the loss or deterioration of coastal or marine habitats; 2) identify the project’s outcome(s) and goal(s) and describing in detail the actions and project(s) to be undertaken to achieve those goals; and 3) describe the measurable impact on the issue/concern, including proposed evaluation techniques. |
