Proposals sought for community-based coastal restoration

Hawaii Community Foundation and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Restoration Center have announced the Community-based Coastal Restoration Grant Program, a funding opportunity for on-the-ground coastal and marine restoration projects led by local community groups and community-based partnerships.
