Puget Sound Action Agenda - Strategic Implementation Leads: The overarching goal of the Puget Sound Action Agenda is to restore and protect the Puget Sound ecosystem and its beneficial uses for the public good. The purpose and top priority of this Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) is to support a funding model that allows the EPA Puget Sound Recovery National Program to provide a predictable, transparent, and collaborative local/regional funding system with a strategic focus of investments. This funding model would support activities, broadened collaborations, and communications to increase the Puget Sound National Estuary Program Management Conference’s capacity to successfully implement the EPA approved Action Agenda, and to inform future modifications to that plan. Applicants should demonstrate in their applications how they will approach implementation of the 2026-2030 Action Agenda, and how they will make measurable progress toward the Vital Sign Targets, Progress Measures, and National Estuary Program Reporting Measures in addition to any relevant priority Outputs and Outcomes described in the Action Agenda. This NOFO announces the availability of funds and solicits applications from eligible applicants that are interested in acting as “Strategic Implementation Leads” (SILs), in coordination with the Puget Sound Partnership, EPA, and other relevant parties. The three focus areas of this NOFO are Habitat/Marine, Shellfish, and Stormwater.
