This Cooperative Agreement award, granted by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) under the Habitat Conservation Federal Grant Program (CFDA 11.463), provides $8,000,000 to the City of Jacksonville, North Carolina to restore critical habitat and alleviate flooding within the New River watershed. The key activities to be carried out include wetland restoration, culvert replacement, living shoreline creation, and the outplanting of 1 million oysters. This project builds upon the City's previous successful New River Estuary Oyster Highway and Wilson Bay project, and aims to improve water quality, recreational access, and community resilience in the urban, underserved coastal community. The project will be implemented between October 1, 2024 and September 30, 2028.
