This grant is for the purpose of providing States with financial assistance to protect and restore valuable coastal wetlands. These vital ecosystems defend against flooding, maintain water quality, provide crucial wildlife habitats, and support economically significant industries like fishing and tourism. The program funds the acquisition of real property interests in coastal lands for long-term conservation, and the restoration, enhancement, or management of existing coastal wetlands. Funded restoration efforts can involve re-establishing wetland hydrology, planting native vegetation, and removing invasive species to improve native fish and wildlife habitats. All projects must ensure long-term conservation outcomes.

| Description: | Coastal wetlands are valued because they protect against flooding, help maintain water quality, and provide habitat for wildlife. Coastal environments are also important economically, generating billions of dollars annually through such industries as commercial fishing and tourism. The National Coastal Wetlands Conservation Grant Program provides States with financial assistance to protect and restore these valuable resources.Projects can include (1) acquisition of a real property interest (e.g., conservation easement or fee title) in coastal lands or waters (coastal wetlands ecosystems) from willing sellers or partners for long-term conservation or (2) restoration, enhancement, or management of coastal wetlands ecosystems. All projects must ensure long-term conservation. Examples of restoration efforts that could be funded include: Restoring wetland hydrology by plugging drainage ditches, breaking tile drainage systems, installing water control structures, dike construction, or re-establishing historic connections with waterways or Planting native vegetation and/or removing invasive plants and animals that compete with native fish and wildlife and alter native habitats.Applications are ranked based on criteria published in title 50 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Part 84.32. Also see Attachment A to this announcement that clarifies select ranking criteria and addresses questions regarding 50 CFR 84. |
