Fisheries and Habitat Restoration Program Deadline: November 30, 2005 Link: http://www.oceantrust.org/restoration.htm Fisheries & Habitat Restoration Partnership Announce Availability of Funding for Local Projects. Ocean Trust and the Community-Based Restoration Program administered by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Restoration Center are seeking applications for the Fisheries & Habitat Restoration (FHR) Program. The program provides matching financial assistance on a competitive basis to support community-based wetland, riparian, habitat, and coastal living resource restoration projects that build diverse partnerships with the food-producing fishing community and foster local marine resource stewardship through education, restoration, or enhancement activities. Individuals, associations, or companies in fish and seafood production, processing, distribution, retail, food service, or advisory services may apply. Project proposals should describe the need for restoration or enhancement of a proposed habitat or marine resource; the proposed restoration or enhancement activity; potential industry, technical or community partners; and the project's estimated budget and any sources of matching funds or services. In 2005, up to $100,000 of funding will be available on a 1:1 matching basis for restoration projects. Matching funds from applicants may include contributions of non-federal dollars as well as in-kind donations. Projects with proposed funding levels from $5,000 to $20,000 are encouraged. Project proposals must be submitted July 15, 2005. Proposals submitted after July 15 will be considered in a second solicitation period ending November 30, 2005. The complete Request for Proposals and a list of projects supported through this program are available at the Ocean Trust Web site: http://www.oceantrust.org/restoration.htm
