National Estuarine ResearchReserve SystemThe National Estuarine Research Reserve

System (NERRS) is a partnership program

between NOAA and the coastal states,

encompassing 28 sites nationwide that have

been established or long-term research,

education, and coastal stewardship.

Reserve sta work with local communities andregional groups to address natural resource

management issues, such as impacts o climate

change, non-point source pollution, habitat

restoration and invasive species. Through

integrated research and education, the reserves

help communities develop strategies to deal

successully with these coastal resource

issues. Reserves provide adult audiences with

training on estuarine issues o concern in their

local communities. They oer eld classes or

K-12 students and support teachers throughproessional development programs in marine

education.

Reserves seek to provide opportunities or

all local residents, including underserved

communities. For example, the Tijuana River

Reserve located on the border with Mexico,

provides educational opportunities or local

school groups.

Coastal and Estuarine LandConservation ProgramThe Coastal and Estuarine Land Conservation

Program (CELCP) was established in 2002 to

protect coastal and estuarine lands considered

important or their ecological, conservation,

recreational, historical or aesthetic values. The

program provides state and local governments

with matching unds to purchase signicant

coastal and estuarine lands, or conservationeasements on such lands, rom willing sellers.

Lands or conservation easements acquired with

CELCP unds are protected in perpetuity so

that they may be enjoyed by current and uture

generations. CELCP is a potential tool that can

be used to protect lands within communities

that don’t have the resources to acquire them

on their own.

TransportationThe Department o Energy is committed

to developing alternative uels and the

inrastructure to support their commercialization.

Through the FreedomCAR and Fuel Partnership,

DOE works with industry to develop and deploy

advanced transportation technologies that

reduce the nation’s use o imported oil and

improve air quality.

The U.S. Department o Energy’s Clean Cities

Program supports public-private partnerships

that deploy alternative uel vehicles and build

supporting alternative uel inrastructure. The

program eatures inormation about local

coalitions and clean corridors, alternative uel

news and events, feet success stories, support

and unding, tips or starting a coalition in your

area, available alternative uel vehicles, and more.

Additionally, DOE maintains the Alternative

Fuels Data Center, a one-stop shop or all your

alternative uel and vehicle inormation needs.

This site has more than 3,000 documents in itsdatabase, an interactive uel station mapping

system, listings o available alternative uel

vehicles, and much more.

The EPAct State & Alternative Fuel Provider

Program requires certain feets to acquire

alternative uel vehicles (AFVs). Compliance is

required by state government and alternative

uel provider feets that operate, lease, or

control 50 or more light-duty vehicles (LDVs)

within the United States. The Oce o Hearingsand Appeals (OHA) decides appeals rom

decisions o the Oce o Energy Eciency and

Renewable Energy that deny exemptions rom,

or assess penalties pursuant to, the Alternative

Fuel Transportation Program (AFTP).

Further, the Energy Inormation Administration

Pollution Prevention Grant ProgramEPA created the Pollution Prevention (P2) Grant

Program (ormerly Pollution Prevention Incen

Pollution Prevention Act o 1990. The grant

program provides matching unds to State and

Tribal programs to support P2 activities across all

environmental media and to develop State-based

programs. EPA believes these environmental pro

grams have the best opportunity to promote P2

because States have closer, more direct contact

with industry and are more aware o local needs.
