The U.S. Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service (DOI-FWS) awarded $400,000 on July 1, 2025, to the California Department of Parks & Recreation under the Sportfishing and Boating Safety Act (CFDA 15.622) to replace deteriorated boating infrastructure at Avalon Harbor. The project will construct a new end float and single accessible gangway to replace an existing dilapidated end float and two existing gangways. These facilities will serve as the primary loading and unloading point for recreational boaters visiting Avalon Harbor, with completion targeted for July 1, 2028.

This award aligns with the Sportfishing and Boating Safety Act program's mandate to develop and maintain boating infrastructure facilities for transient recreational vessels. The project represents infrastructure modernization activity consistent with the program's eligible activities, which include constructing and renovating docking facilities and related amenities to provide public access to waterways. The three-year performance period (July 2025–July 2028) allows for design, permitting, and construction activities required to deliver the new accessible boating infrastructure at this California waterway location.
