- Project must implement one or more recommendations in the Buzzards Bay Comprehensive Conservation and Management Plan

- Treat this as a grant budget strategy: align costs tightly to discrete tasks that implement the cited Plan recommendation(s)
- Use the attachments to confirm any budget caps, match requirements, and allowable cost categories before finalizing the project budget
- If you are a consultant/contractor, pursue teaming with an eligible watershed municipality as the applicant/prime
- Structure support as clearly scoped subcontract tasks that map to the Plan recommendation(s) the municipality is proposing to implement
- Ineligibility risk if the applicant is not a municipality within the Buzzards Bay Watershed
- Non-responsiveness risk if the application does not clearly tie proposed activities to specific recommendations in the Buzzards Bay Comprehensive Conservation and Management Plan
