The following table lists the applications that received a final score of at least 50 points, and, pursuant to paragraph 62S-4.007(2)(d), F.A.C., these projects are eligible to be considered for FCMP funding. For FY 07-08, the available NOAA funds are adequate to include all 10 ranked CPI projects in the FCMP’s annual award application, submitted on April 18, 2007.
