NOAA Bay Watershed Education and Training (B-WET) Hawaii Program

This program supports the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) goal of developing a "well-informed citizenry involved in decision-making that positively impacts our coastal, marine and watershed ecosystems in the State of Hawaii." The B-WET Hawaii Program "promotes locally relevant, experiential learning in the K-12 environment on priority topics, such understanding climate, ocean and earth sciences and community resilience to hazards. Funded projects provide meaningful watershed educational experiences for students, professional development for teachers, service learning opportunities for students, and support regional education and environmental priorities." Estimated total funding for the program is $1 million, with 10 awards expected. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement.
