NOAA today announced the availability of $1.5 million in Bipartisan Infrastructure Law competitive award funding for federally-recognized tribes to increase their participation in regional ocean partnerships. Proposals are due by Oct. 31, 2024.
Commerce Sec. Gina Raimondo highlighted the administration’s commitment to “ensuring that tribes have the resources they need to be climate resilient,” saying that this funding opportunity “will help increase Tribal participation in key regional ocean partnerships that boost climate resilience across Tribal lands.”
NOAA Administrator Dr. Rick Spinrad called tribes “essential partners in climate resilience strategies that involve government, private sector, academia and community stakeholders,” saying that the funding “will enable essential collaboration between tribes and regional ocean partnerships as we advance towards a more climate-ready future.”
