SMEEF has two grant funds – the practical Restoration, Recovery or Enhancement (RRE) Grants and Project Development Grants. All applications for marine and coastal restoration are welcome. As a broad guide we consider ‘marine and coastal’ to include species and habitats where salt water plays a crucial role in the natural life cycle. The species or habitat at the heart of your application must fit this definition.
For-profit projects and organisations are welcome to apply to SMEEF but they should form part of a consortium application with a non-profit or other similar legal structure or community group.
The first grant round in 2022 was focused on RRE Grants and the list of projects has now been added as yellow tags to our map.
Our Project Development round is now closed for applications. Successful projects will be notified shortly and the projects map will be updated in due course.
