Description
NOAA Atlantic Salmon Conservation Grants
provide funding to catalyze the implementation of locally driven
projects that address priority needs for Atlantic salmon recovery and
restoration. Through these grants, NOAA provides funding and technical
assistance to support restoration of habitat connectivity and function
for the benefit of Atlantic salmon within their current and historical
range in New England. Funded projects have strong on-the-ground habitat
restoration or protection components that lead to long-term ecological
habitat improvements for Atlantic salmon, and also provide educational
and social benefits related to Atlantic salmon conservation for
citizens and their communities. Proposals selected for funding through
this solicitation will be implemented through a cooperative agreement. The Atlantic Salmon Conservation
Grants initiative is collaboratively managed by the NOAA Northeast
Regional Office and the Office of Habitat Conservation. The NOAA
Restoration Center (RC) within the Office of Habitat Conservation will
administer the grant competition. Funding of up to $2,500,000 is
expected to be available for Atlantic Salmon Conservation Grants in FY
2009. Typical awards will range from $50,000 to $250,000. Although a
select few may fall outside of this typical award range, project
proposals requesting less than $30,000 or more than $500,000 will not
be accepted or reviewed.
