Description
The FY 2024 Atlantic Salmon Habitat Restoration Partnership Grants aim to support the recovery of the Gulf of Maine Distinct Population Segment of Atlantic salmon. Proposals should focus on habitat restoration actions, such as feasibility studies, planning and assessments, engineering design, and on-the-ground implementation. The projects should contribute to the recovery of Atlantic salmon by improving fish passage, restoring connectivity, and incorporating proven restoration techniques.
• The proposed project should be consistent with the 2019 Recovery Plan and the Species in the Spotlight Priority Actions: 2021-2025.
• The project should improve fish passage and restore connectivity between the Gulf of Maine and freshwater spawning and rearing habitats.
• The project should provide sustainable and lasting benefits for Atlantic salmon and the ecosystems on which they depend.
• Proposals may include activities such as feasibility studies, planning and assessments, engineering design, on-the-ground implementation, and stakeholder engagement.
