Coastal Environmental Baseline Program (CEBP)

In plain language

Place-based DFO program collecting ecological baseline data in six priority coastal areas — including Placentia Bay, NL. Funding typically flows to local NGOs, Indigenous organizations, universities, and marine research groups partnering with DFO Science. This is the most NL-specific environmental grant on this list — if you're a Placentia Bay fisheries NGO, Indigenous group, or MUN marine sciences team, you likely already know DFO-science contacts. The program funds baseline data collection, not restoration. Check with DFO NL Region for upcoming partner-call opportunities.
