[ISSHA] Funding opportunity - red tide control and mitigation program

[Judy Kleindinst]

Hello, everyone -

the following funding opportunity may be of interest.

Regards, Judy


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 
<>http://fcn.state.fl.us/owa_vbs/owa/vbs_www.ad.view_ad?advertisement_key_num=62932. 
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 information on the Red Tide 
Control and Mitigation Grant Program, visit
