Grants Awarded to Improve Water Quality in the Buzzards Bay Watershed
On April 25, the Buzzards Bay National Estuary Program<https://nam02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fbuzzardsbay.org%2F&data=05%7C01%7Csemco%40whoi.edu%7Cce11526e4f46483a935208db4b2a455a%7Cd44c5cc6d18c46cc8abd4fdf5b6e5944%7C0%7C0%7C638186418596145514%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=coWHG5rLDdWQQ6jZizqVWwJVAE0p0hTk2QJOYWCbUvI%3D&reserved=0> (NEP) announced $808,500 in federally funded grant awards for projects that will improve water quality in the Buzzards Bay watershed by upgrading wastewater treatment plants and reducing stormwater runoff pollution. The three grants were awarded by the Buzzards Bay NEP through CZM, with funding from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) pursuant to the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act of 2021. These three grants are leveraging $484,000 in local cash and in-kind services:

Bourne - The $183,500 grant award will be used to hire an engineering firm to design stormwater treatment options to address nutrient and bacteria loading to Queen Sewell Pond, which has caused beach closures due to harmful algal blooms and elevated bacteria levels.

Dartmouth - With this $250,000 grant, the Town will make modifications to its wastewater treatment facility to better meet permitted discharge limits for certain pollutants and significantly reduce nitrogen discharges to Buzzards Bay, potentially removing more than 100,000 pounds of nitrogen pollution each year.

New Bedford - This $375,000 award will be used to complete Phase II of the Buttonwood Park stormwater management project, which will address sediment erosion and pollutant discharges from the Buttonwood Senior Center property and nearby neighborhoods, including waste from a large Canada geese population.

New CZ-Tip on Protecting Rare Wildlife and Plant Species on the Massachusetts Coast
Massachusetts is home to more than 400 native species that are at risk, or potentially at risk, of extinction. Some coastal animals in significant need of protection include critically endangered North Atlantic Right Whales (which recently arrived in Cape Cod Bay to feed on zooplankton), Atlantic Sturgeon (which will soon head up the Merrimack and Taunton Rivers to spawn), Northeastern Beach Tiger Beetles (which will emerge onto a few Cape and Island beaches in June), and Short-eared Owls (once known to arrive to sandplain habitats in March). Coastal plants include Seabeach Amaranth, Sandplain Gerardia, and Sweet Bay Magnolia—all once abundant in Massachusetts coastal habitats throughout the summer. To learn how to protect these and other at-risk species and their coastal habitats, see CZ-Tip - Help Protect At-Risk Wildlife and Plants in Massachusetts Coastal Habitats<https://nam02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.mass.gov%2Fservice-details%2Fcz-tip-help-protect-at-risk-wildlife-and-plants-in-massachusetts-coastal-habitats&data=05%7C01%7Csemco%40whoi.edu%7Cce11526e4f46483a935208db4b2a455a%7Cd44c5cc6d18c46cc8abd4fdf5b6e5944%7C0%7C0%7C638186418596145514%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=i18wy3%2BAmrMCoRGHAov1Pk1AbSB685jTOXbfdWAYEEg%3D&reserved=0>.

REMINDER: Spring Training Series on Massachusetts Coast Flood Risk Model
In May, EEA and CZM, with the support of Woods Hole Group, will host the final two sessions of an online training series on the Massachusetts Coast Flood Risk Model (MC-FRM). The three-part training is intended for beginner to advanced MC-FRM users and will focus on details of the model, an overview of products, and guidance on applications. Training sessions will include hands-on exercises and case studies. The remaining sessions are:

Training #2: May 4 - Advanced Products and Applications

Training #3: May 11 - Technical Usage and Design Guidance
