NOAA Open Rivers Initiative Grant Applications Due October 31

The deadline to apply is October 31.

Projects are expected to provide an economic boost for communities, enhance public safety, and improve populations of NOAA trust resources such as striped bass, Atlantic and shortnose sturgeon, Atlantic and Pacific salmon, American eel, American shad, blueback herring, and alewife.
