NOAA’s Species Recovery Grants to States (Section 6 Program) provides Federal assistance to State agencies for conserving and recovering endangered or threatened species in State waters. Grants support conservation programs, monitoring of candidate species, and activities for critically endangered species like Atlantic salmon and Hawaiian monk seals. Eligible State agencies can apply, focusing on management efforts, research, and education initiatives. Proposals for fiscal year 2019 funding must align with ESA guidelines and be submitted before Nov 9, 2018. This grant excludes projects on Pacific salmonids, which may qualify for the NMFS Pacific Coastal Salmon Recovery Fund.

| Description: | States play an essential role in conserving and recovering species listed as endangered or threatened under the Endangered Species Act (ESA), 16 U.S.C. 1535. Listed species under NOAA’s National Marine Fisheries Service’s (NMFS) jurisdiction may spend all or part of their lifecycles in state waters, and success in conserving these species depends largely on working cooperatively with the States. NMFS is authorized to provide Federal assistance to eligible State agencies to support the development and implementation of conservation programs for listed marine and anadromous species that reside within that State. This assistance, provided in the form of grants through the Species Recovery Grants to States Program, can be used to support conservation activities for any endangered or threatened species, as well as monitoring of candidate species, recently delisted species, and species proposed for listing under the ESA. Proposals that address the recovery of one of the following critically endangered species are also encouraged as part of the agency’s Species in the Spotlight initiative: Gulf of Maine distinct population segment (DPS) of Atlantic salmon, white abalone, Cook Inlet DPS of beluga whales, Hawaiian monk seal, Pacific leatherback sea turtle, and southern resident DPS of killer whales. Funded activities may include development and implementation of management efforts, scientific research, and public education and outreach. Any State agency that has entered into an agreement with NMFS pursuant to section 6(c) of the ESA or enters into such an agreement within 30 days of the application deadline is eligible to apply under this solicitation. Proposals focusing on 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) 2019 and how NMFS will evaluate and select proposals for funding. This document should be read in its entirety; some information has changed from the previous year. |
