NOAA’s Restoration Center is offering this grant to fund critical Great Lakes restoration work within the Manistique River Area of Concern (AOC). This initiative aims to remove the two remaining Beneficial Use Impairments (BUIs) and ultimately facilitate the removal of the AOC designation. Funding, provided by the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative (GLRI) from the President’s FY2013 and anticipated FY2014 budgets, supports these vital environmental efforts. Approximately $20 million is anticipated to be available over three years, with individual proposals required to be between $10 million and $20 million. Awards will be structured as multi-year cooperative agreements. This grant is for the purpose of restoring and delisting the Manistique River AOC through targeted, expert-led restoration projects.
