The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has awarded a $600,000 Cooperative Agreement to the Oregon Department of State Lands (DSL) through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL). This funding will be used to build the capacity of the South Slough National Estuarine Research Reserve (South Slough NERR), which is managed by DSL, to plan and implement habitat restoration and conservation projects proposed through BIL/IRA funding opportunities. Specifically, the funds will enable South Slough NERR to increase its capacity to manage, plan, and develop project proposals for BIL/IRA funding that support habitat restoration and land conservation in the South Slough watershed and surrounding coastal areas in southern Oregon. The award period is from January 1, 2025 to December 31, 2027 and is provided through the NOAA Office for Coastal Management (CFDA 11.473) Federal Grant Program, which supports science-based coastal and estuarine habitat restoration, conservation, and resilience initiatives.
