The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, through its Stockton Fish and Wildlife Office and National Fish Passage Program, is offering this grant. This grant is for the crucial purpose of protecting endangered fish populations in the Merced River drainage. Funding is specifically available to design, permit, and install protective screens on water diversions. The project aims to safeguard salmon and steelhead from entrainment, a significant threat posed by existing open water ditches. Five particular open water diversions have been identified along the Merced River that critically require screening to ensure the survival and safe passage of these vital fish species, thereby enhancing aquatic ecosystem health. This initiative underscores a commitment to conservation and sustainable water management.
