The NOAA Office of National Marine Sanctuaries is seeking proposals under the Great Lakes Bay B-WET program (https://sanctuaries.noaa.gov/bwet/greatlakes/). The Great Lakes B-WET program is a competitive grant program that supports existing, high quality environmental education programs, fosters the growth of new, innovative programs, and encourages capacity building and partnership development for environmental and place-based education programs throughout the entire Great Lakes watershed. Successful projects provide Meaningful Watershed Educational Experiences (MWEEs) for students and related professional development for teachers, while advancing regional Great Lakes watershed education priorities. The Great Lakes B-WET program is funded through the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative (https://www.glri.us/).
