The National Marine Sanctuary Foundation (NMSF) has been awarded a $18,154,000 Cooperative Agreement by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) under the Marine Sanctuary Program (CFDA 11.429). The funding will be used over a 3-year period to guide community engagement efforts needed for new national marine sanctuary designations, highlight the legacy of indigenous peoples' connections to the waters, and raise awareness of the value of the entire National Marine Sanctuary System. This cooperative agreement aims to build public support and appreciation for the network of special marine protected areas across U.S. waters managed by NOAA.

NA24NOSX429C0001-T1-01 the national marine sanctuary foundation, working cooperatively with the NOAA office of national marine sanctuaries, proposes to guide the community engagement needed to create the will for sanctuary designation, bring to light indigenous peoples legacy with our waters, and ensure that all americans are aware of the value of not just an individual sanctuary, but the entire network of special places across U.S. Waters that is our national marine sanctuary system. This is a cooperative agreement of up to $18,154,000 for three years.
