These projects should focus on long-term habitat protection, restoration, or enhancement. The primary goal is the conservation of native Great Lakes fish and wildlife populations, with a particular emphasis on migratory birds.

| Description: | The goal of the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative is to target the most significant environmental problems in the Great Lakes ecosystem by funding and implementing federal projects that address these problems. As part of this initiative, the two bird habitat joint ventures that are in the Great Lakes watershed – the Upper Mississippi / Great Lakes Joint Venture (https://umgljv.org/) and the Atlantic Coast Joint Venture (https://acjv.org/) – will be working with the Wildlife and Sport Fish Restoration programs in the Midwest and Northeast Regions of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to competitively fund partner projects for long-term habitat protection, restoration, or enhancement, for conservation of native Great Lakes fish and wildlife populations, particularly migratory birds. Preference will be given to activities that help meet the habitat goals of the Upper Mississippi / Great Lakes Joint Venture Implementation Plan (https://umgljv.org/planning/joint-venture-plans/) or the Lower Great Lakes/St. Lawrence Plain (BCR 13) Bird Conservation Region Plan (https://acjv.org/planning/bird-conservation-regions/bcr-13/), other relevant bird conservation plans, and State Wildlife Action Plans (https://www.fishwildlife.org/afwa-informs/state-wildlife-action-plans). |
