We are pleased to report that the Senate Subcommittee and the full Appropriations Committee provided $22.3M for NERRS Operation!
Stay tuned for more to come on....
- Procurement, Acquisition, Construction (PAC)
- The Coastal and Estuarine Land Conservation Program (CELCP) - this program was funded, specific amount to be announced
In attendance for the Senate subcommittee were the following members:
Democrats: Mikulski, Pryor, Lautenberg, Brown
Republicans: KBH, Shelby, Alexander, Johnson, Murkowski
NERRA will be sending out thank you emails to all Senate Appropriation Committee members and encourage anyone with Senators on Appropriations Committee to email a two or three sentence thank you note to the Senator's staff thanking them for their work as well as to the Senators for their NERRS program support (especially to those listed above because they were present for the mark).
It is extremely important that members know that folks back in the state are tracking on this. In addition, it is expected that there will be push back on members supporting budgets higher than the President's during the conference of the House and Senate bills.
Your emails help give Congressional members cover for supporting the $22.3M NERRS budget!
Thanks to all of you who have helped with letters of support!
