Opportunity Information: Apply for GR RDC 16 005
The RESTORE Act Direct Component - Non-Construction Activities grant opportunity offers funding for specific projects aimed at restoring and enhancing the Gulf Coast region following the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. Established under the RESTORE Act of 2012, this initiative utilizes 80 percent of civil penalties paid for environmental violations related to the spill.
Funding is focused on non-construction activities, particularly planning efforts essential for developing a Multiyear Plan required by the RESTORE Act. Eligible activities encompass a wide range of initiatives, including:
- Restoration and protection of ecosystems, fisheries, and wildlife habitats in the Gulf Coast. - Mitigation of damages to natural resources. - Implementation of federally approved conservation management plans. - Workforce development and job creation. - Improvements to state parks in coastal areas impacted by the spill. - Infrastructure projects supporting economic and ecological resources. - Coastal flood protection initiatives. - Administrative costs associated with eligible projects. - Tourism promotion in the Gulf Coast, which includes recreational fishing and the consumption of local seafood.
Most activities must take place in the Gulf Coast region, with some exceptions for planning and tourism promotion activities. Applications should focus on these non-construction activities as construction-related proposals are addressed separately.Apply for GR RDC 16 005
