Federal Grant Award Summary

The U.S. Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service Region 8 awarded $301,923.00 under the Sport Fish Restoration program (CFDA 15.605) to the California Department of Fish & Wildlife for the Alviso Marina County Park Boat Dock Replacement and Facility Improvements Project. The award, effective July 1, 2025, with completion targeted for December 31, 2026, funds restoration and improvements to critical public recreational boating infrastructure in Santa Clara County, California.

The project will restore low-water access and replace deteriorated wooden planks on three public access boardwalks at Alviso Marina County Park, the only public launch facility in the South Bay and the southern gateway to the San Francisco Bay Water Trail. These improvements will maintain access for low-float recreational vessels including kayaks, canoes, paddleboards, and small human-powered craft used for fishing, hunting, and recreational boating, while also enhancing the facility's parking lot. As a formula grant supporting boat access infrastructure under the Sport Fish Restoration program, this award directly advances the program's objectives of enhancing sport fish populations and providing public access to aquatic recreational resources.
