Enhancing
Coastal NEMO Programs
 In
recognition of the fact that on-the-ground NEMO education was a tailor-made
vehicle for several NOAA programs to attain their goals, in 2001-2002
four branches of NOAA collaborated on the Coastal NEMO Enhancement
Grant Program. The Coastal Programs Division, National Sea Grant College
Program, National Estuarine Research Reserve System and Coastal Services
Center worked with the Network Hub to make available $200,000 in NOAA
funding in competitive grants to coastal NEMO programs, to enhance
their educational efforts. The purpose was twofold: to stimulate intra-NOAA
collaboration between the four arms of NOAA, and to give a “shot
in the arm” to the NEMO Network. It worked. Six proposals were
funded out of the 15 proposals received. The resultant projects, each involving
a long list of partners, will strengthen not only the NEMO programs in
these six states but the entire Network.
