Coastal and Marine Habitat Restoration
Investing in Habitat
NOAA’s Restoration Center recognizes that habitat protection and restoration are essential elements of a strategy for sustainable commercial and recreational fisheries. Investing in habitat restoration and recovery projects leads to real, lasting differences for communities, businesses, and the environment. The Community-based Restoration Program is currently soliciting applications for restoration projects that use a habitat-based approach to promote productive and sustainable fisheries, improve the recovery and conservation of protected resources, and promote healthy ecosystems and resilient communities...
We are soliciting coastal habitat restoration projects that will:
- Contribute to the recovery of listed species under NOAA jurisdiction, especially those designated by NOAA as Species in the Spotlight
- Enhance or sustain populations of managed species or their prey
- Provide sustainable and lasting ecological benefits of regional or national significance
