WDFW and the Nearshore Partnership are looking for exemplary projects of regional importance that restore nearshore ecosystem processes and functions. Project work need not result in construction under this award, but funding for feasibility or design should be anticipated to lead to protection or restoration actions. ESRP projects should exemplify best restoration practices and seek to maximize the efficiency and efficacy of ecosystem restoration. We encourage you to forward your best proposals, as we anticipate strong competition for funds.

Proposals must be received at the address indicated below by 5:00 PM, Monday May 21, 2007. Proposals received after this time or not in the described format will be considered “non-responsive” and will not be evaluated for funding.
