About this award

The Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service Region 4 awarded the Kentucky Department of Fish & Wildlife Resources $5.4 million under the Sport Fish Restoration program (CFDA 15.605) on April 1, 2026, for fisheries district management during the 2026–27 fiscal year. The award funds activities designed to restore, conserve, manage, and enhance sport fish populations and provide public access to sport fisheries resources across Kentucky's seven fisheries management districts and two fish hatcheries. The funding also supports operation and maintenance of over 160 boating ramps and 30 fishing access sites, fish propagation and stocking, and aquatic habitat restoration. The period of performance runs from April 1, 2026, through March 31, 2027, with performance occurring statewide in Kentucky. The Sport Fish Restoration program apportions funding annually to state agencies with lead management responsibility for fish and wildlife resources based on a legislatively established formula, drawing revenues from excise taxes on motorboat fuel, certain electric motors, fishing equipment, and import duties on fishing tackle and yachts deposited into the Sport Fish Restoration Trust Fund. Grantees may renew projects annually if justifiable and if funds remain available.
