NOAA/Lower Columbia River Estuary Partnership Habitat Restoration Grants - NOAA funding is available through the Lower Columbia River Estuary Partnership to support estuary restoration activities. Projects must be located in the National Estuary Program boundaries of the Lower Columbia River Estuary Partnership or the Tillamook Estuaries Partnership. Preferred projects will be located within the historic floodplain of the mainstem and in the tidally-influenced portions of the tributaries. Funding requests may range from $25,000 to $150,000, with a 1:1 non-federal match (cash or in-kind) strongly encouraged. Estuary restoration activities that will be considered for funding include restoration of estuarine, tidal and diked slough habitats, dendritic drainage networks, and diked and tidal wetland habitats. Applications are due November 1, 2007.
