Abstract: This collection is used to track, evaluate and report on coastal and marine habitat restoration funding administered by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Restoration Center, National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS). The information enables NOAA to demonstrate accountability for federal funds used to restore coastal and marine habitats, provide accurate and timely responses to NOAA, Department of Commerce, Congressional and Constituent inquiries and contributes to the Government Performance and Results Act "acres restored" measure. Grant recipients are required by the NOAA Grants Management Division to submit periodic performance reports and a final report for each award; this collection stipulates the information to be provided in these reports.
