Community-based Restoration Program Partners



Restore America' Estuaries (RAE) and it's alliance members have been working since 1996 to restore our nation's critical coastal areas and bring them back to life. Through its Community-based Restoration Program (CRP), RAE joins with government agencies, corporations, civic organizations, scientists, and local volunteers on restoration projects with real impacts. Among our aims are the return of abundant fisheries, strong local economies, and shorelines that are resilient to storms and flooding. RAE's CRP has funded more than 570 local restoration projects throughout the United States, achieves tangible results, gets people involved in their communities, and gives them a lifelong passion for restoring our coasts. The following National Sponsors are helping us make a tangible difference in America's communities. Their investment and support are translating into successful restoration projects throughout the country.

NATIONAL OCEANIC AND ATMOSPHERIC ADMINISTRATION (NOAA) RESTORATION CENTER
Restore America's Estuaries has a long-standing partnership with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. NOAA's Restoration Center is our leading national partner, sponsoring restoration projects on the East, West, and Gulf coasts through our eleven member organizations. Restore America's Estuaries and NOAA have just completed two very successful multi-year partnerships restoring thousands of acres of habitat and involving tens of thousands of volunteers.

ANHEUSER-BUSCH COMPANIES
In 2006, Anheuser-Busch provided funding and resources to complete 3 community-based restoration projects in Galveston Bay, coastal Louisiana and New York/New Jersey's Navesink River.  Additionally, Anheuser-Busch was the lead sponsor for the New Orleans City Park Community-based Restoration Project in advance of Restore America's Estuaries' 3rd National Conference on Coastal and Estuarine Habitat Restoration in December. Over 300 local volunteers and Conference attendees participated in this one day event to plant native trees and grasses, remove invasive plant species, and pick up trash around City Park and the attached Bayou St John. Through its five-year partnership with Anheuser-Busch, Restore America's Estuaries has been able to restore important marine riparian habitat, reestablish estuarine wetlands, and remove invasive plant species.
