The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) offers the Protected Species Cooperative Conservation Grant, providing financial assistance to eligible state agencies. This grant is for supporting the conservation and recovery of endangered, threatened, and proposed marine and anadromous species that reside within state waters. Funds can be used for developing and implementing management plans, conducting scientific research, and public education and outreach initiatives. Proposals should align with an ESA Recovery Plan, State’s ESA Section 6 Program, State Wildlife Action Plan, or address NMFS-identified regional priorities. State agencies with existing or applied-for agreements under ESA section 6(c) are eligible. Proposals focusing on listed Pacific salmonids are excluded, as they are addressed by the NMFS Pacific Coastal Salmon Recovery Fund.

| Additional Information on Eligibility: | Eligible applicants are state agencies that have entered into an agreement with NMFS pursuant to section 6(c) of the ESA. The terms “state” and “state agency” are used as defined in section 3 of the ESA (16 U.S.C. 1532). Currently eligible state agencies are listed here: http://frwebgate.access.gpo.gov/cgi-bin/leaving.cgi?from=leavingFR.html&log=linklog&to=http://www.nmfs.noaa.gov/pr/conservation/states/. Any state agency that enters into a section 6(c) agreement with NMFS within 45 days following the grant application deadline is also eligible to apply. State agencies may apply for funding to conduct work on federally listed species that are included in their ESA section 6 agreement and any species that has become a candidate or a proposed species by the grant application deadline. State agencies may not apply for funding to conduct work on federally listed species that are not covered in their ESA section 6 agreement unless said species is added to the agreement within 45 days following the grant application deadline. Federal agencies or institutions are not eligible to receive assistance under this notice. In addition, NOAA and NMFS employees shall not provide assistance in writing applications, write letters of support for any application, or otherwise confer any unfair advantage on a particular application. However, for activities involving collaboration with current NMFS programs, NMFS employees can write a letter verifying that they are collaborating with the project. |

| Description: | States play an essential role in the conservation and recovery of endangered and threatened species. Protected species under the National Marine Fisheries Service’s (NMFS) jurisdiction may spend all or a part of their life-cycles in state waters, and success in conserving these species will depend in large part on working cooperatively with state agencies. NMFS is authorized to provide assistance to eligible States to support the development of conservation programs for marine and anadromous species that reside within that State. This assistance, provided in the form of grants through the Protected Species Cooperative Conservation program, can be used to support conservation of endangered, threatened, and proposed species, as well as monitoring of candidate and delisted species. Funded activities may include development and implementation of management plans, scientific research, and public education and outreach; proposals should address priority actions identified in an ESA Recovery Plan, a State’s ESA Section 6 Program, a State Wildlife Action Plan, or address a NMFS-identified regional priority or need. Any State agency that has entered into or applied for an agreement with NMFS pursuant to section 6(c) of the ESA is eligible to apply under this solicitation. Proposals focusing on listed Pacific salmonids will not be considered for funding under this grant program; such projects may be considered through the NMFS Pacific Coastal Salmon Recovery Fund. This document describes how to submit proposals for funding in fiscal year (FY) 2011 and how NMFS will |
