This grant, offered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, is for supporting urgent efforts to plan or deploy immediate response measures upon the new detection of an aquatic invasive species. Eligible activities specifically target rapid responses to recent invasions by non-native aquatic plants or animals in fresh, wetland, estuarine, or marine waters. This funding is critical for timely action against new threats. However, it does not cover activities such as species identification, risk evaluation, public outreach, long-term management, monitoring, or remediation. Additionally, projects planning for species not yet detected in the area are ineligible. Federal or state agencies, U.S. territory agencies, interstate organizations, and Federally recognized Indian Tribal Governments or Native American Organizations are encouraged to apply.
