About this opportunity
The Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service is seeking applications from eligible state agencies for the Fiscal Year 2025 National Coastal Wetlands Conservation Grant Program. Applicants may apply for matching grants between $50,000 and $1,000,000 to fund coastal wetlands acquisition, restoration, and management projects that conserve and enhance coastal wetlands as defined in the Coastal Wetlands Planning, Protection and Restoration Act. Applications must be submitted through GrantSolutions.gov by June 21, 2024 and include a 7-page project narrative, 20-page ranking criteria responses, and required budget forms. Award announcements will be made on January 10, 2025.
A total of $20 million is available across approximately 25 awards. Eligible projects must involve work performed in coastal areas as defined by the Coastal Wetlands Planning, Protection and Restoration Act. This program is administered under the National Coastal Wetlands Conservation Grant Program (CFDA #15.614) and aims to support the long-term conservation of coastal wetland ecosystems through competitive matching grants to state agencies.
Synopsis
The Coastal Wetlands Planning, Protection, and Restoration Act (Title III, Section 301, Public Law 101‐646, 16 U.S.C. 3951-3956) (Act) established the National Coastal Wetlands Conservation Grant (NCWCG) Program to acquire, restore, and enhance wetlands in coastal areas through competitive matching grants to eligible State agencies. The NCWCG Program is funded by revenues collected from excise taxes on sport fishing equipment, electric motors and sonar, import duties on fishing tackle, yachts and pleasure craft, and a portion of the gasoline tax attributable to motorboats and small engines. Revenues are deposited into and appropriated from the Sport Fish Restoration and Boating Trust Fund. The primary goal of the NCWCG Program is the long‐term conservation of coastal wetland ecosystems. The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act of 2021 (Public Law 117-58) authorizes funding for the NCWCG Program through Fiscal Year 2026.
