Two unstapled originals and one unstapled copy of the completed application outline with a detailed budget. Additional supporting documentation such as maps, photographs, and design plans are encouraged but not required. Applicants should submit their proposals for community-based restoration projects to the FishAmerica Foundation at 1003 North Fairfax Street, Suite 200, Alexandria, Virginia 22314, postmarked no later than April 30, 2001. Funding will be announced in June 2001. The Restoration Program is based on civic involvement.
Civic involvement is usually voluntary, which means there is no pay.
But civic involvement does pay in its own way. NOAA's community partners are making our neighborhoods, cities, states and nation better for all of us. The press event marked the NOAA's National Marine Fisheries Service fifth year announcing its intent to seek regional and national partnerships under its Community-Based Restoration Program. Since 1998, FishAmerica has partnered with the NOAA Restoration Center to provide funding to local groups to restore marine and anadromous fisheries habitat throughout the country. From a dam removal project in New Hampshire, to a marsh restoration project in Florida, to a streambank stabilization project in Oregon, people are making a difference to the fisheries resource every day of the week.
