The BLM-WO is offering this grant to support comprehensive fisheries and aquatic resource management across the Western United States. This initiative aims to prevent the spread of invasive species through targeted outreach materials for anglers, hunters, and boaters, utilizing the ‘Clean Drain Dry’ standard. A significant focus is on developing on-the-ground cold-water fisheries habitat restoration projects for native trout and other species, including riparian restoration in Greater Sage-Grouse priority habitats. The grant will also provide crucial technical support for aquatic resource assessments during land use planning and develop working lands/conservation ranching initiatives to conserve native trout fisheries through sustainable land management practices. Additionally, it will fund professional development opportunities for BLM staff within a national professional society, enhancing expertise in these critical areas.
