Grants for Freshwater Algae Management
 

Grant Funding for Freshwater Algae Projects:

In 2005, the Washington State Legislature established an algae control program to provide funding for algae projects in Washington’s lakes and rivers. Ecology will not be providing grants for freshwater algae control projects in 2010.

In 2009, the Legislature stipulated that $140,000 of the Freshwater Algae Control Account appropriation be used in the 2009-2011 biennium to provide grants for a saltwater algae program. Ecology does not have sufficient appropriation authority to provide grants for both saltwater algae and freshwater algae projects.

Join Ecology's Freshwater Algae Program Listserv

Ecology has set up a listserv for freshwater algae. The Freshwater Algae Program Listserv will act as an information exchange and discussion forum about freshwater algae in Washington. A listserv is a program that allows people to send email to one address, which automatically resends that message to all of the other subscribers on the list. If you would like to join the list, click here for directions on how to subscribe to the list.
