NOAA General Coral Reef Conservation Grants Program
The NOAA Coral Reef Conservation Program/
General Coral Reef Conservation Grants Program (GCRCGP) provides
funding to institutions of higher education, non-profit organizations,
commercial organizations, Freely Associated State government agencies,
and local and Indian tribal governments to support coral reef
conservation projects in the United States and the Freely Associated
States in the Pacific, as authorized under the Coral Reef Conservation
Act of 200 0. Projects funded through the GCRCGP support on-the ground
efforts that:
(1) Help preserve, sustain and restore the condition of
coral reef ecosystems, (2) promote the wise management and sustainable
use of coral reef resources, (3) increase public knowledge and
awareness of coral reef ecosystems and issues regarding their
conservation and (4) develop sound scientific information on the
condition of coral reef ecosystems and the threats to such ecosystems.
Projects should complement and fill gaps in state,
territorial and commonwealth coral reef programs, emphasize community-
based conservation, or address local action strategy priorities.
