This grant, offered by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), is for projects under the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative (GLRI) Action Plan for Fiscal Year 2011. It seeks applications from eligible entities to address critical environmental challenges in the Great Lakes region. The initiative focuses on four key areas: combating toxic substances and pollution in designated Areas of Concern; implementing a strict ‘zero tolerance’ policy against new invasive species; improving nearshore health and reducing nonpoint source pollution from urban, suburban, and agricultural runoff in high-priority watersheds; and strengthening accountability, education, monitoring, and partnerships to ensure effective restoration efforts. This is a major competitive funding opportunity to protect and restore the Great Lakes ecosystem.
