<div>The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission's (FWC)
Fish and Wildlife Research Institute and Solutions To Avoid Red Tide
(START) seek proposals for the Red Tide Control and Mitigation Grant
Program. FWC and START plan to distribute up to $850,000
annually through the grant program for exploration of environmentally
acceptable techniques or technologies for potential control or
mitigation of Florida red tide blooms. The grant program focuses
on blooms of Karenia brevis, the Florida red tide organism. For the
purpose of the program, “control and mitigation” represent efforts
to minimize the size, intensity or duration of Florida red tide blooms
or reduce the environmental, economic, social or public health impacts
of future blooms. The grant program will not provide compensation for
economic losses sustained as a result of red tides.To view the request
for proposals, visit <a

></span>key_num=62932</a>. The deadline for submitting proposals
is May 15. A nine-member, independent panel will review all accepted
proposals and recommend projects for funding. For more
