About this opportunity
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's Coastal Program is seeking applications for cooperative agreements and grants to support voluntary coastal habitat protection, restoration, and improvement projects. Eligible applicants include state, local, and tribal governments, non-profits, and institutions of higher education. Projects must align with the Coastal Program's goals of benefiting federal trust species, increasing coastal resiliency, and improving habitat connectivity. Proposals will be evaluated based on criteria such as species conservation priorities, long-term habitat outcomes, and partnerships. The application deadline is September 30, 2024, and applicants must consult with regional Coastal Program staff prior to submitting.
The total estimated funding available is $6 million, with a maximum award of $500,000 per project. Projects can receive funding for 1-5 years and should be performed across the coastal regions of the United States, focusing on areas like the Great Lakes, Gulf Coast, Pacific Northwest, and Northeast. Successful applicants will receive notices of award on a rolling basis, with payment and reporting requirements specified in the award.
Synopsis
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) Coastal Program is a voluntary, community-based program that provides technical and financial assistance primarily through cooperative agreements to coastal communities, conservation partners, and landowners to restore and protect fish and wildlife habitat on public and private lands. The Coastal Program staff coordinates with partners, stakeholders and other Service programs to identify geographic focus areas and develop habitat conservation goals and priorities within these focus areas. Geographic focus areas are where the Coastal Program directs resources to conserve Federal trust species and their habitats. Projects are developed in collaboration with partners, and with substantial involvement from Service field staff. Coastal Program projects must support the missions of the U.S. Department of the Interior (DOI), U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service), and the Coastal Program, and be based on biological principles and the best available science. The Coastal Program takes an adaptive approach to designing and implementing coastal ecosystem habitat protection and restoration strategies that anticipate and ameliorate the impacts of climate change and other environmental stressors. Coastal Program habitat improvement projects strive to increase coastal resiliency by improving the ability of coastal ecosystems to adapt to environmental changes and supporting natural and nature-based infrastructure projects to protect and enhance coastal habitats. Applicants seeking technical or financial assistance from the Coastal Program are requested to consult with the regional or local Coastal Program office BEFORE developing or submitting an application (Visit https://www.fws.gov/program/coastal/contact-us for Coastal Program contacts). Applications must be submitted through GrantSolutions at: https://home.grantsolutions.gov/home/. Application submitted through Grants.gov will not be evaluated.
