Federal Funding Opportunities

The Coastal and Estuarine Land Conservation Program (CELCP) provides grants to eligible state agencies and local governments to acquire property or conservation easements from willing sellers within a state's coastal zone or coastal watershed boundary.

CELCP is administered as a three-stage process: development of a state CELCP plan, a state competitive process to identify top projects (run by the state's lead agency), and a national peer-review competition.

Competitive Funding Opportunity for FY 2013

NOAA will not have funding available for new FY 13 competitive projects.

NOAA maintains a contingency list of projects, in the event that a project falls through or additional funds become available. Projects on the FY 2012 ranked list that are not funded in FY 2012 will remain on the contingency list, which will remain active until it is superseded.
