Community-Based Restoration Program

NOAA Fisheries began a new Community-Based Restoration Program (Program) in 1996 to encourage local efforts to restore fish habitats. Since that time NOAA has provided funding to 66 small-scale habitat restoration projects around coastal America. The Program is a systematic national effort to encourage partnerships with Federal agencies, states, local governments, non-governmental and non-profit organizations, businesses, industry and schools to carry out locally important habitat restorations to benefit living marine resources. The Program is developing formal guidelines which will expand the financial instruments available to accomplish furtherance of this mission. This announcement provides proposed guidelines for the implementation of the Program in FY 2000 and beyond. NMFS is seeking comments on the proposed guidelines for the Program through this document. This is not a solicitation of project proposals.
