The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is offering grants via its National Fish Passage Program to support vital habitat restoration. Authorized by the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act, this program provides financial and technical assistance to partners for restoring, enhancing, and managing fish and wildlife habitats. Funding targets high-priority aquatic habitats directly benefiting Federal Trust species, including migratory birds, threatened/endangered species, and inter-jurisdictional fish. While a regional goal seeks 50% non-Service funding, it’s not a project-specific requirement. Interested parties must contact their Regional Coordinator for funding and technical assistance information.

Additional Information
| Agency Name: | Fish and Wildlife Service |
| Description: | The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is announcing the availability of funding habitat restoration through the National Fish Passage Program. The Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act authorizes the Secretary of Interior to provide technical and financial assistance through the National Fish Passage Program to partners interested in restoring, enhancing, and managing fish and wildlife habitats. These funds are available for habitat restoration projects that address high priority aquatic habitats. Projects must provide direct benefits to Federal Trust species (i.e., migratory birds, threatened and endangered species, inter-jurisdictional fish, certain marine mammals, and species of international concern). It is a goal of the program to secure at least 50 percent of project costs from non-Service sources, but this goal applies regionally as a whole, and does not have to be achieved on a project-by-project basis. If you are interested in requesting assistance for a potential project under the National Fish Passage Program you must contact your Regional Coordinator for information about funding and technical assistance availability. A listing of Regional Fish Passage Coordinators is available at http://www.fws.gov/fisheries/fwco/fishpassage/contacts.html |
