Funding <br />sources include: Outer Continental Shelf mineral receipts, sales of federal <br />surplus real property, federal recreation fees, and federal motorboat fuel taxes. <br />Eligible Projects must meet certain priorities in the Statewide Comprehensive <br />Outdoor Recreation Plan (SCORP).
