The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) announces the anticipated availability of grant funds under the Florida Boating Improvement Program (FBIP). Availability of funding is contingent upon an appropriation by the Florida legislature for the 2011-2012 fiscal year. Eligible projects include construction and repair of boating access facilities, uniform waterway markers, derelict vessel removal, and other local boating-related activities. County governments, municipalities and other governmental entities of the State of Florida are eligible to apply. Applications for grant funding for fiscal year 2011-2012 will be accepted beginning January 31, 2011. Applications must be received by FWC before close of business on March 31, 2011. Applications received after the deadline will be ineligible for consideration.
