The NOAA Office of National Marine Sanctuaries is seeking proposals under the Great Lakes Bay B-WET program (https://sanctuaries.noaa.gov/bwet/greatlakes/). The Great Lakes B-WET program is a competitive grant program that supports existing, high quality environmental education programs, fosters the growth of new, innovative programs, and encourages capacity building and partnership development for environmental and place-based education programs throughout the entire Great Lakes watershed.
