The Chesapeake Bay Trust, in conjunction with National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Restoration Center and the Maryland Department of the Environment, is soliciting proposals to create and promote living shorelines in the Maryland, Virginia, and Washington, D.C portions of the Chesapeake Bay. "Living shorelines" are defined as shoreline stabilization techniques that use natural habitat elements to protect shorelines from erosion while also providing critical habitat for Bay wildlife. The funding partners invite non-profit organizations, community associations, academic institutions, and state and local governments to submit applications for the Living Shoreline Initiative grant program. This grant initiative is designed to reverse the trend of shoreline hardening by encouraging the creation of living shoreline restoration projects and by enhancing public awareness about the benefits of living shorelines Program Status This grant program is currently OPEN. For the RFP, click here. *NOTE* Applicants are no longer required to have completed designs to request implementation funding. Applications for this program are accepted online only. Click here: www.cbtrustgrants.org to apply. New users must register to use the Online Grants System 24 hours prior to submitting an application. Applicants are strongly encouraged to apply several days prior to the deadline, due to potential for high website traffic on the date of the deadline.
