Cooperative Agreement
Overview
Grant Description
Feiro Marine Life Center (FEIRO) is partnering with the Olympic Coast National Marine Sanctuary (OCNMS) to build the Marine Discovery Center facility.
The planned new interpretive center would help make OCNMS more accessible to the community by providing a venue for public education about marine habitats, wildlife, and indigenous cultures, while also strengthening ties between NOAA, Port Angeles, and the whole Olympic Coast Peninsula.
This project is expected to have positive implications for the economic development of Port Angeles and the North Olympic Peninsula, outside of the collective educational impact the campus entities will provide.
This is a cooperative agreement of up to $15,000,000 for five years.
