The Nisqually Indian Tribe was awarded $501,892 under a Cooperative Agreement from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Habitat Conservation federal grant program (CFDA 11.463) to build capacity for habitat restoration in the Nisqually River Delta. Specifically, the funding will support the Tribe in incorporating their traditional ecological knowledge and priorities into habitat restoration and nature-based solutions to reduce flooding and increase climate resilience, with a focus on supporting salmon. This includes ensuring the Tribe's vision is reflected in the replacement of Interstate 5 Bridge over the Nisqually River Delta. Long Live The Kings, a nonprofit organization, will partner with the Tribe as a subawardee to help deliver these products and services under the award, which has a completion date of May 31, 2026.
