Over the years, the Buzzards Bay NEP has awarded millions of dollars in grants to Buzzards Bay municipalities, non-profits, and research organizations. We posted online an interactive map of all grants awarded since 2006. Go to our interactive map of grants awarded page to learn more about these projects. If you click on one of the map symbols, information will pop up about the grant, with links to additional information.

Have you checked to see if you are in the flood zone?
Did you know we have an interactive map on our climate page that shows the FEMA 100-yr floodplain (flood insurance rate map) and hurricane surge zones for the towns around Buzzards Bay? We also show the floodplain with 0, 1, 2 and 4 feet or potential sea level rise on our floodplain expansion map. Just zoom into any spot along Buzzards Bay that interests you and click on a shaded area to see the published flood elevation.
Workshop on stormwater tool to help identify BMPs and costs
The New England Environmental Finance Center (NEEFC) and the University of New Hampshire Stormwater Center (UNHSC), in cooperation with the Buzzards Bay National Estuary Project, will be hosting a free half-day workshop for municipal staff and officials and their consultants on Tuesday November 14, 1-4 PM in the Town of Wareham (at the Town public library). NEEFC has developed a software tool to help identify, size, and cost out stormwater potential BMP solutions appropriate for municipal watersheds. As noted in the flyer, “This workshop is appropriate for a mixed audience of local staff, municipal consultants, and local officials engaged in stormwater management, at a level accessible to all.”
