Coastal Counties Restoration Initiative

The Coastal Counties Restoration Initiative (CCRI) is a partnership between NACo and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) to help counties restore coastal ecosystems and remove barriers to fish migration. This grant program provides financial assistance on a competitive basis for innovative high quality county-led or supported projects.

Projects are community centered and work with NOAA’s Community-based Restoration Program which provides technical assistance in all aspects of coastal habitat restoration. Each project improves habitat for NOAA trust resources including marine, estuarine and diadromous fish.

CCRI seeks to develop the capacity of county governments and their partners to promote community-based stewardship and enhance local watershed-based resource management. Projects are evaluated based on restoration and habitat improvement as well as community outreach and education.

Deadline for applications for the 2010 funding competition is March 29, 2010.
