Executive Summary The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) Coastal Program is a community-based program that helps coastal areas with technical and financial support to address complex conservation challenges of priority coastal ecosystems. This support is mainly provided through cooperative agreements with conservation partners and landowners, including state and Tribal agencies.

The goal is to restore and protect fish and wildlife habitats on both public and private lands.

Coastal Program staff work with partners, stakeholders, and other Service programs in important areas for conservation. They set goals and priorities for habitat conservation in these focus areas. The program has specific lists of priority species and focus areas for each U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service region. Applicants seeking technical or financial assistance from the Coastal Program are required to contact a local Program office BEFORE developing or https://www.fws.gov/program/coastal/contact-us https://www.fws.gov/program/coastal/contact-us https://www.fws.gov/media/required-notices-and-burden-statement-omb-control-no-1018-0100 https://www.fws.gov/program/coastal/contact-us submitting an application. You can find this information in the current strategic plan at this link or by contacting your local Coastal Program office at this link.

Projects are developed collaboratively by partners and Service field staff. All Coastal Program projects must align with the missions of the U.S. Department of the Interior, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and the Coastal Program. They are also based on sound biological principles and the best available science.

PROGRAM OVERVIEW

Program Goals

• Species Conservation: The program works on habitat projects in specific areas to help protect species at risk. This includes federally listed species, Birds of Conservation Concern, pollinators, and interjurisdictional fish. The goal is to improve the conservation status of these species of concern.

• Habitat Connectivity: The program connects habitats to make them better for wildlife.

Connected habitats and migration paths are vital for fish and wildlife. These projects can also support other conservation efforts, like National Wildlife Refuges and other protected lands.

• Resilient Ecosystems: The program aims to make ecosystems healthier and more resilient for fish, wildlife, plants, and people. The program works with different partners to take action that helps ecosystems be more resilient to changes and benefits communities that depend on them.

APPLICATION REVIEW INFORMATION

Eligibility Review During the eligibility review, the application is checked for timely submission, completed packages (see Application Documents above) and alignment with the requirements of this https://www.doi.gov/pmb/eeo/doi-minority-serving-institutions-program https://home.grantsolutions.gov/home/getting-started-request-a-user-account/ https://home.grantsolutions.gov/home/getting-started-request-a-user-account/ https://home.grantsolutions.gov/home/getting-started-request-a-user-account/ https://login.gov/ https://home.grantsolutions.gov/home/recipient-gmm-training-resources/?_sf_s=login&_sft_resource_cat=login-and-navigation https://home.grantsolutions.gov/home/recipient-gmm-training-resources/?_sf_s=login&_sft_resource_cat=login-and-navigation https://home.grantsolutions.gov/home/recipient-gmm-training-resources/?_sf_s=login&_sft_resource_cat=login-and-navigation https://home.grantsolutions.gov/home/contact-us/ https://home.grantsolutions.gov/home/contact-us/ announcement. The Federal agency may remove an application if it does not pass the eligibility review.

The Coastal Program is a voluntary, community-based program that provides technical and financial assistance primarily through cooperative agreements to conservation partners and landowners, including state and Tribal agencies, to restore and protect fish and wildlife habitat on public and private lands.

The Coastal Program will not support projects that:

• Do not align with the regional strategic implementation plans or program priorities.

• Generate compensatory mitigation credits under a Federal or state regulatory program or accept mitigation or in-lieu funds as non-Federal cost share for a project.

• Acquire land although it can support title searches and real estate appraisals.

• Include foreign travel, pre-award costs, purchase of unauthorized equipment, indirect costs in excess of the negotiated indirect cost rate or the de minimus indirect cost rate.

If an applicant selected for funding hasn't finished their SAM.gov registration (see 2 CFR 25.200 and 2 CFR 25.110) when the federal agency is ready to make an award, we may decide that the applicant is ineligible for the award and choose to grant it to someone else. Please refer 2 CFR

25.205 for more information.

Prior to making an award, the DOI checks the anticipated recipient and their key project personnel against the current list of prohibited or restricted persons or entities in the System for Award Management (SAM.gov) Exclusions database. We are prohibited from making an award if a recipient or any key personnel are found ineligible, prohibited, restricted, or otherwise excluded from receiving or participating in an award, as their ineligibility condition applies to this program.

If removed from consideration for ineligibility, the Federal agency will notify the applicant in writing.

Merit Review

• The project supports the Service's conservation mission.

• The project will contribute to long-term fish and wildlife habitat conservation.

• The project supports the conservation goals and priorities in the current strategic plan.

• The project will conserve habitat for Federal trust species (Endangered Species Act-listed species, migratory birds, interjurisdictional fish, and certain marine mammals for which the Service has management authority), species proposed for listing, State-listed species, imperiled species, species of conservation concern, focal species, and other at-risk species.

• The project will contribute to fish and wildlife habitat connectivity and reduce fragmentation.

• The project will build coastal resilience by helping ecosystems and coastal communities adapt to climate change impacts.

• The project will complement conservation on National Wildlife Refuges and other public or private conserved lands.

https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-2/section-25.200 https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-2/subtitle-A/chapter-I/part-25/subpart-A/section-25.110 https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-2/subtitle-A/chapter-I/part-25/subpart-B/section-25.205 https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-2/subtitle-A/chapter-I/part-25/subpart-B/section-25.205

• The project will build the capacity of communities to conserve fish and wildlife habitat for coastal-dependent species.

• The project engages Native American Tribes and/or will benefit Tribal communities.

• The project will expand fish and wildlife oriented recreational opportunities.

If all other considerations are equal, priority for funding will be given to projects that have a greater longevity, involve higher monetary and non-monetary partner contributions, and are the most cost-effective.

Review and Selection Process This program reviews proposed budgets to ensure:

• figures are correct

• estimated costs are necessary and reasonable and clearly linked to project narratives

• avoid obviously unallowable costs

• identify costs requiring prior approval

• ensure indirect cost rates are applied correctly

• confirm cost sharing requirements are reflected in the budget.

This program reviews applications for potential overlap or duplication between the proposed project and any other funded or proposed project. Depending on the circumstances, DOI may choose to not make an award.

Coastal Program field staff are responsible for evaluating applications and selecting habitat conservation projects, with concurrence from the field station Project Leader, or other appropriate authority. Field staff will use the project selection criteria to identify projects that maximize benefits to Federal trust species, address DOI and Service priorities, and use program resources efficiently and effectively. Successful applicants may be required to submit project plan revisions and additional project information, including evidence of regulatory compliance.

Risk Review Prior to making an award, the program assesses the risk posed by the applicant per 2 CFR

200.206. If an award will be made, the program may apply special conditions corresponding to the risk assessed. For awards over the simplified acquisition threshold (currently $250,000), the program reviews eligibility and financial integrity information in the applicant’s SAM.gov records per 2 CFR 200.206(a). The program also assesses financial management capabilities, project delivery experience, staffing resources, past performance, administration and reporting compliance records, and overall project complexity and potential challenges.

AWARD NOTICES

Notices of Federal Award are sent electronically via GrantSolutions or e-mail. These notices outline the terms, conditions, and payment instructions per 2 CFR 200.211. The Notice of Federal Award signed by an authorized Grants Officer is the legal instrument obligating financial assistance to a recipient. Any other prior notice is not an authorization to begin work. If the program allows pre-award costs per 2 CFR 200.458, beginning performance before receiving a Notice of Federal Award is at the applicant’s own risk.
