NOAA awarded more than $265 million in funding for 38 new projects that will help strengthen the climate resilience of coastal ecosystems and communities.
Thirty-six new projects will reopen migratory pathways, restore access to healthy habitat for fish, and build tribal capacity to participate in developing and implementing fish passage projects.
The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law presents an once-in-a-generation opportunity to make an impact for coastal ecosystems and communities. The deadline for the funding opportunity focused on underserved communities has been extended to October 14, 2022.
NOAA is seeking proposals for fish passage projects that will remove in-stream barriers to reopen migratory pathways and restore access to healthy habitat for fish around the country.
