Eight grants from $4,500 to $20,000 will be awarded to groups in the U.S., Canada and the Caribbean.

 

A five-judge panel of marine industry leaders who share a passion for protecting our waters – with the help of boaters voting on Facebook for their favorite projects among the applications – will select 7 regional winners to be awarded grants of $4,500 each and a grand prize winner to be awarded a grant of $20,000. Grant awards will be made at the Ft. Lauderdale International Boat Show in October, 2011.
