Grant Description

The Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Region 2, Office of Policy and Management (OPM), Policy, Planning, and Evaluation Branch (PPEB) is soliciting applications from eligible organizations for a project(s) that addresses the following objectives associated with the coral reef ecosystems within PR and/or the USVI: 1) increases public and/or stakeholder awareness about the ecological, economic, social and cultural value of coral reefs and associated ecosystems and 2) promotes environmental stewardship – as it pertains to energy and water usage, water or air pollution, and/or solid waste generation and management – either through the introduction and/or adoption of more sustainable industry practices or the encouragement of more sustainable personal choices. To realize these two objectives, projects must focus on either or both of these high-priority project areas defined by EPA Region 2.
