An opportunity for funding of international coral reef projects

Brazil, Bermuda, the Western Indian Ocean, the Red Sea, the
South Pacific, and Southeast Asia.
Up to approximately $500,000 may be available in FY 2007 to
support grants and cooperative agreements under this program.
Approximately $75,000-$100,000 may be allocated to each of the
four project categories listed below, with the following award

can include in-kind contributions and other non-cash support.
