New York Sea Grant in partnership with the New York Department of Environmental Conservation is requesting proposals for projects that serve to benefit the environment and economy of New York’s Great Lakes basin.

• “control sediment, nutrient and pathogen loadings so that drinking water quality is protected, desired aquatic biotic communities flourish, humans and wildlife are protected from coastline health hazards, and natural processes are sustained” and
• “enhance community resiliency and ecosystem integrity through restoration, protection, and improved resource management”

Community-based and/or project planning, project implementation, information management tool development, demonstration projects and targeted outreach and education initiatives are eligible. Projects must be located within or be directly related to the Great Lakes basin region of New York.

Proposals will be due by September 30, 2015. Grants will be announced in early November 2015. Full request for proposals and application guidelines are online at http://www.nyseagrant.org/proposals.
