The National Marine Sanctuary Foundation (NMSF) is pleased to offer an
opportunity to apply for the* Capacity Building to Implement Coral
Restoration Action Plans in the U.S. Pacific Islands Grant* with funds
provided by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
NOAA and the Foundation are interested in funding opportunities that
directly contribute to coral restoration progression in the U.S. Pacific
Islands by supporting capacity building and restoration implementation
projects. These grants will enable the continual efforts to implement coral
restoration in the four U.S. Pacific Island jurisdictions of American
Samoa, Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI), Guam, and
Hawaii. The primary goal for this funding opportunity is to help transition
the U.S. Pacific Island jurisdictions from coral restoration planning into
implementation and to support the activities identified in the draft action
plans developed by each jurisdiction. Proposed projects can fall into two
categories: Coral Restoration Capacity Building and/or Coral Restoration
Implementation.
