Funding Sources
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
Coastal Program
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Coastal Program typically provides our office with coastal restoration project funds. Funding varies annually, ranging up to approximately $50K annually. Generally, the funds will be split between multiple high priority projects. Decisions on funding priorities are made at our Gulf of Maine Coastal Program office and are typically directed to restoration activities that benefit coastal waterbirds, diadromous fish or federally threatened and endangered species on islands, rivers or salt marshes. Once projects are selected, we typically develop a Cooperative Agreement that describes the project, identifies work responsibilities and specifies our financial commitment.
There is no application deadline. Funds are directed to high priority projects as needed and as available.
