The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) is offering funding through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 for habitat restoration under the National Fish Habitat Action Plan Program. This grant is for projects that address high-priority aquatic habitats, providing direct benefits to Federal Trust species, including migratory birds, threatened and endangered species, inter-jurisdictional fish, and certain marine mammals. The USFWS aims to secure at least 50 percent of project costs from non-Service sources regionally, though this is not a strict requirement for individual projects. Interested partners seeking assistance for potential projects should contact their Regional National Fish Habitat Action Plan Coordinator for detailed information on funding and technical support availability. This initiative supports vital efforts to restore, enhance, and manage critical fish and wildlife habitats nationwide.

| Description: | The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is announcing the availability of funding under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 for habitat restoration through the National Fish Habitat Action Plan Program. The Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act authorizes the Secretary of Interior to provide technical and financial assistance through the National Fish Habitat Action Plan Program to partners interested in restoring, enhancing, and managing fish and wildlife habitats. Under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 additional funding is available for habitat restoration through the National Fish Habitat Action Plan. These Recovery Act 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.
