The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service awarded a $6,433,628 Project Grant under the National Fish Passage Program (CFDA 15.685) to the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (MN DNR) to enhance aquatic connectivity in the Otter Tail River watershed. The grant funds the replacement of two undersized highway culverts with two span bridges to restore fish passage and reconnect 20 miles of critical spawning habitat. This landscape-scale project, part of the broader Reconnect the Red initiative,...
The U.S. Department of the Interior (DOI) Fish and Wildlife Service Region 3 awarded a $200,000 Cooperative Agreement to the County of Lake, acting through its Lake County Soil & Water Conservation District, under the National Fish Passage Program (CFDA 15.685). The project aims to restore full fish passage through the Lax Lake Road culvert on Lindstrom Creek, a high-quality cold water tributary to the Baptism River in Minnesota. This will benefit native brook trout populations that rely...
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) awarded a $10,900,000 Cooperative Agreement under the National Fish Passage Program (CFDA 15.685) to the Upper Minnesota River Watershed District to execute a comprehensive river restoration project. The project aims to restore fish passage and longitudinal connectivity in the Minnesota River watershed through a two-phase approach. Phase 1 involves modifying the Little Minnesota River floodway channel by reducing a flood control weir's slope and...
The Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service Region 6 awarded a $750,000 Cooperative Agreement to the State South Dakota Game Fish & Parks Wildlife Division under the National Fish Passage program (CFDA 15.685). This funding will support the Little Minnesota River Browns Valley Diversion Fish Passage Improvement Project.

This Cooperative Agreement award from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), under the National Fish Passage Program (CFDA 15.685), will provide $900,284 to the Keweenaw Bay Indian Community (KBIC) to replace a concrete box culvert on Kallio Creek at Skanee Road. The existing culvert is an aquatic organism passage (AOP) barrier, preventing native brook trout from accessing 3 miles of high-quality habitat in Kallio Creek and 25 miles of the Silver River. The project will install a concrete...
This $260,000 Cooperative Agreement awarded by the U.S. Department of the Interior's Fish and Wildlife Service under the Partners for Fish and Wildlife Program (CFDA 15.631) will fund the removal and replacement of an undersized culvert on Little Grass Valley Creek in Weaverville, California.

Specifically, Smith River Alliance...
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, through its National Fish Passage Program (CFDA 15.685), awarded a $200,000 Cooperative Agreement to the Conservation Resource Alliance (CRA) to restore a road-stream crossing on Deer Creek. The project will replace a 7-foot diameter culvert with a 33-foot span timber bridge, reconnecting 5 miles of upstream channel to over 4 miles downstream. This will halt the annual input of up to 15 tons of sediment from road runoff entering Deer Creek, improving stream...
The Missouri Department of Conservation, through a $395,000 Cooperative Agreement awarded by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service under the National Fish Passage Program (CFDA 15.685), will replace an existing road-stream crossing acting as an aquatic organism passage barrier with an open-span structure. This will facilitate fish passage, sediment transport, and reduce isolation of sub-populations of the Niangua darter in the Little Niangua River basin. The project will reconnect 25 miles of Judge...
