New Projects
PEAT has been awarded two grants:
$25,000 from the Casco Bay Estuary Partnership. These funds will be used to formulate a working group to tackle action items identified in the Peaks Island Assessment.
$10,000 from the Island Institute. These funds will be used to explore the possibility of employing nature-based solutions to tackle damage caused by flooding and erosion on the backshore.
