The Alaska Department of Fish and Game received a $3.3 million Formula Grant award from the U.S. Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service Region 7 under the Wildlife Restoration and Basic Hunter Education and Safety federal grant program (CFDA 15.611). The funding supports projects from July 1, 2021 to June 30, 2022 to conduct survey and inventory, management/research coordination, and research activities focused on restoring, conserving, managing and enhancing Alaskan wild birds and mammals and their habitats. As outlined in the Pittman-Robertson Act, the grant program aims to support State-led efforts to survey and study wildlife populations and habitats while coordinating research across agencies. The award to Alaska Fish and Game will directly fund projects that assess and protect important Alaskan species through collaborative management and data collection activities over the one-year period.
