NOAA
Due: February 4, 2019
The selected projects will support our efforts to clean up and restore Great Lakes Areas of Concern, places where pollution has impacted ecosystems and the public’s ability to use natural resources. New to the competition this year, we’re expanding our regional partnerships to support activities that restore native Great Lakes fish habitat outside of Areas of Concern.
Since 2010, NOAA has supported more than 60 projects through the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative. These projects have restored more than 7,500 acres of habitat and opened almost 500 miles of stream for fish to access their habitat.
