Description
The New Bedford Harbor Trustee Council
(Trustee Council or Council) is responsible for restoration of natural
resources injured through the release of polychlorinated biphenyls
(PCBs) and other hazardous substances into the New Bedford Harbor
Environment. The Council consists of the: (1) Massachusetts Executive
Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs; (2) U.S. Department of
Commerce, NOAA represented by the National Marine Fisheries Service;
and (3) U.S. Department of the Interior represented by the U.S. Fish

NOAA on behalf of the Council. Approved projects that involve
activities not eligible for NOAA Grants may receive funds through other
