Every year since 2002, the NOAA Chesapeake Bay Office has managed a competitive grant program-the Bay
Watershed Education and Training (B-WET) program. B-WET supports K-12 environmental education programs that advance the Meaningful Watershed Educational Experience within the Chesapeake Bay watershed.The deadline for applications to the 2011 competition is Friday, October 15th, 2010.

The official funding announcement for the new grant process is now available. This announcement provides all the details about the kinds of projects B-WET will be funding in 2011.

NOAA is holding informational webinars in August about B-WET and the 2011 funding announcement. Anyone interested in applying for funds this year is encouraged to attend one of these online workshops, even if you’ve applied for B-WET Chesapeake funds in the past. Please visit the B-WET homepage for more details and contact information.
