The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) awarded a $7,772,260 Cooperative Agreement to The Nature Conservancy (TNC) under the National Wildlife Refuge System Enhancements program (CFDA 15.654). The purpose of the award is to support restoration actions that improve the resiliency of habitat and infrastructure on multiple USFWS National Wildlife Refuge properties within the Albemarle Pamlico Sound region of North Carolina. The 3-year award period runs from September 5, 2024 to September 5, 2027. Through this cooperative agreement, TNC will work closely with USFWS to implement habitat restoration, invasive species control, and infrastructure enhancement initiatives across the targeted refuge network. The project aims to enhance ecological health, improve visitor experiences, and support wildlife conservation efforts in this coastal ecosystem.
