The National Fish and Wildlife Foundation (NFWF) received a $2.7 million Project Grant award from the Department of the Interior Bureau of Reclamation under the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act (CFDA 15.517) program. The award period is from October 1, 2021 to September 30, 2025.
The grant funds habitat restoration efforts to benefit threatened coho salmon populations in the Klamath River basin region of southern Oregon and northern California. NFWF will administer the grant program and has provided sub-awards totaling $2.7 million to seven organizations for on-the-ground restoration projects. These projects involve installing structures like large woody debris and engineered log jams, removing fish passage barriers, enhancing spawning and rearing habitats, and completing design and permitting work. Sub-awardees include watershed councils, conservation non-profits, and local government entities. The goal is to improve conditions for coho salmon through activities that restore floodplains, increase habitat complexity, and enhance access to cold water refugia.
