Blueways Paddling Guide Grant

The Public Trust is one step closer to creating a Paddling Guide to the Intracoasta Waterway.

The Public Trust is pleased to announce that our Blueways Paddling Guide Project scored very well for the Coastal Partnership Initiative Grant. (See the following announcement that appeared in the May 4 Florida Administrative Weekly.) Our Paddling Guide will include an aerial map that shows the four City parks along the Intracoastal Waterway from JTB to Atlantic bridges, rest and food stops, and other points of interest. Waterproof copies will be available, as well as online interactive information about kayaking and canoeing in the area.

CPI APPLICATIONS TO BE CONSIDERED FOR FCMP FUNDS The Department of Environmental Protection, Florida Coastal Management Program (FCMP), announces the results of the Coastal Partnership Initiative (CPI) Evaluation Committee that met on November 29, 2006. All eligible CPI applications were reviewed by the evaluation committee using the information included in each application and according to the evaluation criteria listed in Rule 62S-4.007, Florida Administrative Code. The following table lists the applications that received a final score of at least 50 points, and, pursuant to paragraph 62S-4.007(2)(d), F.A.C., these projects are eligible to be considered for FCMP funding. For FY 07-08, the available NOAA funds are adequate to include all 10 ranked CPI projects in the FCMP&rsquos annual award application, submitted on April 18, 2007. The final decision whether or not to fund these projects is made by NOAA, in or around July, 2007.
