<p><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>The
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration announced on Friday that it is
seeking proposals for coastal habitat restoration projects under the American
Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 in an unprecedented effort to jumpstart
the economy. The effort is designed to create resilient and healthy American
communities by generating and saving jobs, employing several thousand people,
and restoring valuable coastal and marine habitat.</span><o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>NOAA is
formally seeking proposals for a variety of habitat restoration projects -
including wetlands restoration, dam removals, shellfish restoration, and coral
reef restoration. To ensure relevance, readiness and accountability to the
American public, the 30-day solicitation requires that projects be
"shovel-ready." Proposals are due by April 6, 2009.</span><o:p></o:p></b></p>
