NOAA has announced a Notice of Funding Opportunity that will support high quality projects in the Delaware Bay watershed through a new Delaware Bay Watershed Education and Training (B-WET) program. Approximately $550,000, depending on Congressional allocations, may be available to fund three to five projects. Projects can be based in Delaware Bay watershed counties in Delaware, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, or New York. This is a one-year exploratory B-WET grant opportunity to introduce the program to the watershed and inform future work.
Funded projects will support literacy programs that help students learn about issues affecting the Delaware Bay watershed, such as ocean and coastal acidification.
Applications are due by April 18, 2025.
