The NOAA Restoration Center is pleased to announce funding available in 2001 for
individual community-based habitat restoration projects under the Community-Based
Restoration Program (CRP).

The CRP is a federal financial and technical assistance program that funds grass-roots,
community-based activities that restore living marine resources and their habitats, including
anadromous species (fish like salmon and herring that that spawn in freshwater and migrate
to the sea).

Attached, in PDF and HTML formats, is the Federal Register Notice that was published
Friday, March 2, 2001.  The Notice contains a description of the program, eligibility
information, all application instructions, and the criteria against which applications will be
evaluated.  Applications must be postmarked by May 1, 2001.

A copy of the Notice and all the necessary standard NOAA grants application forms are
available on the NOAA Restoration Center web page at:
http://www.nmfs.noaa.gov/habitat/restoration.  Look under "funding opportunities" or under
the "Community-Based Restoration Program" section.

If you have any questions, please feel free to give Robin Bruckner, Chris Doley, or Alison
Ward a call at (301) 713-0174.
