正文(英文) | Contact Information: BOSTON – The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), in partnership with Restore America's Estuaries (RAE), has announced $4.5 million in new funding for organizations working to restore clean water and healthy coastal ecosystems to Southeast New England. The funding is provided under the 2018 Southeast New England Program (SNEP) Watershed Grants, a collaboration between EPA New England (Region 1) and RAE. The goal of the grant program is to build and support partnerships to tackle the region's most pressing environmental issues, such as nutrient pollution and coastal habitat loss. "Protecting iconic waters like bays and estuaries in Southern New England is a priority for EPA, and these projects will help further that goal," said EPA New England Regional Administrator Alexandra Dunn. "This funding will help protect clean water and establish innovative, watershed-based models that are vital to the ecological resiliency and economic vitality of our coastal communities." RAE selected 14 grant recipients through a rigorous competitive process. The awardees include municipalities, non-profit organizations, state agencies, universities and regional planning organizations, each of which is leading an innovative, high-impact project of regional importance. The $4.5 million in federal funds will be matched by an additional $1.8 million in state and local dollars – providing altogether more than $6.3 million in funds to protect and restore Southeast New England's environment.
