Silver Lake Does Not Qualify for DEC's New York Sea Grant of $100,000 Marine and Coastal Project

The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) and New York Sea Grant announced today the availability of $100,000 for small grants for projects that will result in fulfillment of the mission of the Marine and Coastal District of New York Conservation, Education and Research Board. Applications for these small grants are due by 4:30 p.m. on Nov. 16, 2018.


The disqualifying paragraph states, "Projects that introduce limits on user access, promote a specific private entity, are focused on freshwater ponds, lakes, and rivers, or are not directly related to marine and coastal resource usage are not eligible for funding."


Eligible locations and projects may include activities that involve youth marine fishing camps or clubs, beach and bay clean-ups, and other coastal restoration activities to improve shoreline access, citizen science, signage, programs to increase public awareness about marine and coastal sport fishing and heritage, piloting technology or methods to support conservation, and developing tools to improve public access to marine and coastal resources and related services.


New York Sea Grant is hosting a webinar for interested applicants on Nov. 2, from 2 to 3 p.m. For more information about the webinar and to register, visit the New York Sea Grant website.
