Get Funding for Resiliency & Eco-Modeling Projects
Posted: July 1, 2015
Summary
Nonprofits and planning commissions focused on coastal ecosystem resiliency can secure funding to expand existing hydrodynamic modeling projects. This grant aims to bolster efforts in coastal planning and ecosystem enhancement, building on prior Sandy resiliency initiatives.
Eligibility
Full Description
This is an announcement for issuing a single source financial assistance award, not to exceed five years, to the Merrimack Valley Planning Commission (MVPC, Cooperator). The intent of the award is to provide funding to expand an existing project funded through two Sandy resiliency projects: #43, "Restoring resiliency to the Great Marsh; Parker River NWR, MA" and NFWF's Hurricane Sandy Coastal Resiliency Competitive Grant Project "Coastal Resiliency Planning and Ecosystem Enhancement for northeastern Massachusetts". The previously awarded Sandy project provided $608,000 to develop a comprehensive hydrodynamic model for the Great Marsh ecosystem.
