NCWCGs are awarded annually with funding from the US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) to acquire, restore, and enhance coastal wetlands. NCWCG projects are collaborative grants for which state agencies are eligible to apply. OWEB serves as the official grantee of the federal award and makes the federal funds available to local partners through sub-grants. 

OWEB is currently accepting applications for coastal wetland ecosystem restoration activities including enhancement and management projects. Awards are dependent upon the availability of federal funds.
