Cooperative Agreement F25AC00475

This $100,000 Cooperative Agreement award from the U.S. Department of the Interior (DOI) Fish and Wildlife Service under the Partners for Fish and Wildlife (CFDA 15.631) program will support restoration activities in Tomales Bay, California. The key deliverables include: 1) development of a conceptual design plan to increase connectivity of Marks Marsh to Tomales Bay, and 2) invasive plant control on 1 acre of salt marsh and wetland habitat in the Walker Creek Delta and Cypress Grove Preserve. These restoration actions will benefit federally listed species such as coho salmon and tidewater goby, as well as other marsh-dependent species that have experienced population declines. The award recipient is Audubon Canyon Ranch, Inc., a non-profit organization, who may issue sub-awards for aspects of the project implementation.
