in Massachusetts Bay and Cape Cod Bay that advance the goals of our
comprehensive
management plan
<http://massbays.us6.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=a587ac1c24&id=2f0a557bc0&e=8ceb704b57>
and
build upon past efforts
<http://massbays.us6.list-manage.com/track/click?u=a587ac1c24&id=be45312ce5&e=8ceb704b57>.

Eligible applicants for the new program include Massachusetts

non-federal cash or in-kind match.

The Healthy Estuaries Grant Program replaces MassBays' Research and
Planning Grant Program, which directed more than $450,000 to 26 projects
around the region. In 2012, the Saugus River Watershed Council assessed
smelt spawning habitat in the Saugus River and a tributary. Their report
<http://massbays.us6.list-manage.com/track/click?u=a587ac1c24&id=cec395a682&e=8ceb704b57>highlights
opportunities for expanding and enhancing spawning areas. Similar projects
around the MassBays region will increase our understanding of local
conditions and trends and ability to encourage environmental improvements. *Map
