Anchor’s Away!
The Anchor’s Away partnership was developed under WW2BW as part of the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation’s (NFWF) Coral Reef Conservation Program.
Anchor’s Away provides small grants to foster partnerships to install and maintain mooring buoys to protect sensitive coral reef resources from anchor damage and to identify marine protected areas in the Gulf of Mexico and the Wider Caribbean Region. NOAA funds the program, and NFWF administers the grants. Most grants range between $15,000 and $50,000. The average grant is approximately $30,000.
