About this award
The U.S. Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service (DOI FWS) Region 6 awarded $230,000 in formula grant funding to the Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks (KDWP) under the Sport Fish Restoration program (CFDA 15.605) to increase public access to private waters for fishing throughout Kansas. Awarded on January 1, 2026, with a completion date of December 31, 2026, this grant addresses Kansas's limited acreage of publicly accessible fishing areas by expanding opportunities for residents to fish on private lands. The Sport Fish Restoration program, funded through excise taxes on fishing equipment and motorboat fuel deposited into the Sport Fish Restoration Trust Fund, supports state fish and wildlife agencies in restoration, conservation, management, and enhancement of sport fish populations and public fishing access.
Under this formula grant, the KDWP Federal Aid Division will utilize the $230,000 allocation to develop and implement initiatives that increase public fishing access on private waters, supporting the agency's broader mission of managing Kansas's fish and wildlife resources and providing recreational opportunities to the public. The funding represents the state's annual apportionment under the established federal formula and supports activities aligned with the Sport Fish Restoration program's focus on enhancing public use and benefits from sport fisheries resources.
