Healthy Estuaries Grant Program | Massachusetts Bays Healthy Estuaries Grant Program Gulf of Maine Symposium 2025 Healthy Estuaries Grant Program With funding from the EPSA under Section 320 of the Clean Water Act, the MassBays Health Estuaries Grant program provides small grants to communities, nonprofit organizations, and research institutions for projects that advance progress toward the goals of the MassBays Comprehensive Conservation and Management Plan.
The grants are aimed towards projects that address gaps in knowledge about our estuaries, demonstrate new approaches to monitoring or protecting near-shore habitats to improve conditions, or lay the groundwork for future restoration. Through this program, we want to help communities meet their goals to improve and restore vital habitats that are important for their wellbeing.
In the process we continue to forge strong partnerships to work together to meet our goals to improve our estuaries. Press Release: MassBays National Estuary Partnership Awards $85,883 to Improve Habitat Health in Ipswich and Massachusetts Bays Since established in 2010, the Healthy Estuaries Grant program (formerly Research and Planning Grant program) has contributed funding and technical assistance for numerous projects.
Funding has helped communities grow capacity to initiate projects to inform decision-making, gather that final missing piece of information to make that last step towards a shovel-ready project that will be eligible for further funding to improve water quality, and enabled research to fill gaps in our knowledge of estuarine habitats.
