<p>The NOAA Bay Watershed Education and Training (B-WET) program has grant competitions open now! The B-WET program is an environmental education grant program that promotes place-based experiential learning for K-12 students and related professional development
for teachers. This year’s competitions feature an emphasis on climate change education. Competitions are currently open in Chesapeake Bay, Gulf of Mexico, Hawaii, New England, and Pacific Northwest, and will be coming out soon in California and Great Lakes.
