The North Pacific Coast Marine Resources Committee has issued a “Request for Proposals” for the committee’s 2023-2025 funding round.
The committee, in collaboration with the Jefferson and Clallam boards of county commissioners, is looking for project proposals that promote marine stewardship, restoration, and citizen engagement in the northern Olympic Peninsula’s Pacific Coast region.
The committee’s mission is to promote community involvement in Pacific Coast issues, enhance understanding of resource conditions and coastal community needs, and support activities and studies related to the unique management and stewardship challenges of Washington’s outer coast.
“We are excited to announce this funding opportunity and encourage individuals and organizations to submit their innovative project proposals,” said Tami Pokorny, North Pacific Coast Marine Resources Committee coordinator and Natural Resources Program Coordinator at Jefferson County.
“The NPC MRC is committed to supporting marine stewardship, restoration, and engagement in our region, and we look forward to reviewing the proposals,” Pokorny added.
According to the committee, past projects have included community outreach events and materials, beach cleanups, marine science education, scientific studies of coastal geology and marine debris, remotely operated underwater vehicle competitions, and a coastal art installation.
Projects can receive up to $75,000. Proposals can be made in the following categories: Marine Habitats, Marine Life, Marine and Fresh Water Quality, Sound Science, Education and Outreach, or Coastal Communities. The request for proposals, including benchmark descriptions, can be found at co.jefferson.wa.us/1523/North-Pacific-Coast-Marine-Resources-Com.
The deadline proposal is Monday, Aug. 14. (Submissions should be sent via email to
tpokorny@co.jefferson.wa.us; call 360-379-4498 for more information.)
Interested applicants can share and discuss project ideas with committee members at their regular meeting at 4 p.m. Tuesday,
July 18, at Peninsula College in Forks, or online. Project sponsors are also invited to make a more formal presentation of their project application at the committee meeting Tuesday, Aug. 22 (also in Forks and online).
