Deepwater Draft Early Restoration Plan and Environmental Review

Credit: Scott Nicol The Deepwater Horizon trustees have released the Phase II Draft Early Restoration Plan & Environmental Review (DERP/ER) for public review and comment. The plan includes two proposed projects totaling about $9 million that focus on restoring nesting habitat for birds and sea turtles. Response efforts resulting from the Deepwater Horizon oil spill caused injuries to this natural habitat. "This draft plan includes two Early Restoration projects which represent a near-term opportunity to improve the nesting habitats of birds and turtles, two species that are integral to the Gulf Coast wildlife community," said Cynthia Dohner, Natural Resource Trustee for the Department of the Interior. "Our desire is to provide these benefits during the next nesting season, but we'd first like to hear from the public. We encourage the public to attend the November 13 meeting in Pensacola and to give us their comments." The DERP/ER describes the second round of projects proposed to receive funding from the $1 billion BP committed to Early Restoration on April 21, 2011. The trustees will hold a public meeting on November 13, 2012 to solicit comment on the plan. The meeting will be held at the Escambia County Central Complex Building in Room 104, 3363 West Park Place Pensacola, Fla. 32505. There will be an open house from 6:00-7:00 PM followed by the meeting and public comment period from 7:00-9:00 PM. The DERP/ER describes two proposed projects for the second round of Early Restoration. These projects address coastal conservation for the purpose of restoring bird (avian) and sea turtle nesting habitats, which were injured by oil spill response operations. These projects are timed to enhance the bird and turtle nesting ground as the spring 2013 nesting season begins. Below is a brief description of each project: A Comprehensive Program for Enhanced Management of Avian Breeding Habitat Injuries by Response in the Florida Panhandle, Alabama and Mississippi. This project proposes to protect nesting habitat for beach-nesting birds from disturbance in order to restore habitat impaired by disturbance from oil spill response activities. It is to be conducted on sandy beaches in Escambia, Santa Rosa, Okaloosa, Walton, Bay, Gulf, and Franklin counties, Florida; Bon Secour National Wildlife Refuge (NWR) in Baldwin and Mobile counties, Alabama, and the Gulf Islands National Seashore (GUIS) - Mississippi District. Improving Habitat Injured by Spill Response: Restoring the Night Sky. This project proposes to reduce artificial lighting impacts on nesting habitat for sea turtles, specifically loggerhead turtles, to restore habitat impaired by disturbance from oil spill response activities. It is to be conducted on sandy beach public properties in Baldwin County, Alabama; and Escambia, Santa Rosa, Okaloosa, Walton, Bay, Gulf, and Franklin counties, Florida. The DERP/ER and a list of public repositories are available at http://www.gulfspillrestoration.noaa.gov and www.doi.gov/deepwaterhorizon. Comments will be taken until December 10, 2012.  Comments may be submitted in the following ways: Via the Web: http://www.gulfspillrestoration.noaa.gov For electronic submission of comments containing attachments, email: fw4coastalDERPcomments@fws.gov U.S. Mail: U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, P.O.

Grant Funding Available for Community-based Habitat Restoration Projects

Alexandria, VA

– March 5, 2012 - The FishAmerica Foundation, the conservation and research foundation of the American Sportfishing Association, has funds available for marine and anadromous sportfish habitat restoration projects throughout coastal America, the Great Lakes region, and all U.S. Territories through its partnership with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) Restoration Center.

These grants will be awarded to community-based habitat restoration projects to restore marine, estuarine and riparian habitats and freshwater habitats, including projects such as salt marshes and mangrove forests. These projects are important to anadromous fish species such as salmon and striped bass that spawn in freshwater and migrate to the sea. Projects in the Great Lakes must restore habitat for diadromous sportfish such as lake sturgeon, walleye and brook trout in the Great Lakes and applicable tributaries. Projects that will benefit both sportfish and threatened and endangered fish species under NOAA’s National Marine Fisheries Service’s jurisdiction may receive additional consideration.

The FishAmerica Foundation will accept grant proposals through April 30, 2012. Grants of up to $75,000 each will be awarded in the fall of 2012. Anticipated awards are contingent on the provision of federal funding to the FishAmerica Foundation.

Eligible applicants include community-based, nonprofit organizations, such as sporting clubs and conservation associations, as well as state and local agencies. Applicants are strongly encouraged to partner with NOAA’s regional offices and other staff to develop and implement the restoration projects. The announcement and full grant package information are available at  http://www.fishamerica.org/grants.html.

Since 1998, FishAmerica and NOAA Restoration Center have invested in more than 270 projects, leveraging $6 million in funds into more than $14 million in vital fisheries habitat conservation in 25 states.
