NHEP Seeks Proposals
The New Hampshire Estuaries Project (NHEP), in partnership with the New Hampshire Coastal Program (NHCP), is requesting proposals from qualified individuals or organizations to conduct activities that will result in the completion of on-the-ground habitat restoration for multiple estuarine species in the tidal waters of New Hampshire.

Total funding available for this grant is $120,000. The NHEP expects to fund several restoration projects. An applicant may submit a project proposal for any amount up to $120,000. Nonfederal matching funds (cash or in-kind services) must account for at least 20 percent of the total cost of the project. NHEP funding for this program ($60,000) is provided by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency through an agreement with the University of New Hampshire. The New Hampshire Coastal Program is providing $60,000 of funds from NOAA. Contracts will be executed between UNH and successful applicants for projects selected for funding.
