The NOAA Office of National Marine Sanctuaries is seeking proposals under the Great Lakes B-WET program. Great Lakes B-WET is a competitive grant program that supports existing, high quality environmental education programs, fosters the growth of new, innovative programs, and encourages capacity building and partnership development for environmental and place-based education programs throughout the entire Great Lakes watershed (Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin). Successful projects provide Meaningful Watershed Educational Experiences (MWEEs) for students and related professional development for teachers, while advancing regional Great Lakes watershed education priorities.

Bond Falls Mitigation and Enhancement Fund
Pre-proposals due October 15, 2021
The Mitigation and Enhancement Fund (MEF) is a mechanism set up through the Bond Falls Settlement Agreement (BFSA) to fund habitat improvement projects and assessment in the Ontonagon River watershed. These guidelines are intended to provide background and guidance to applicants regarding the MEF goals, annual application process, proposal format, contact information, eligibility, annual selection, reporting requirements and fund disbursement. The Bond Falls Implementation Team (BFIT) is available as a resource to applicants, and is responsible for the development and application of these guidelines and the selection of projects for funding.
The goal of the MEF is to provide tangible, measurable improvements to the aquatic and terrestrial environments in the Ontonagon River watershed. While a primary goal of the MEF is to implement habitat improvements, the MEF may be used for studies to help determine the need for future improvements or the benefits of previous improvements.
