Description
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service requests interested entities to submit research, restoration, and Regional Project proposals for the restoration of the Great Lakes Basin fish and wildlife resources. The purpose of the Great Lakes Fish and Wildlife Restoration Act is to provide assistance to States, Indian Tribes, and other interested entities to encourage cooperative conservation, restoration, and management of the fish and wildlife resources and their habitats in the Great Lakes Basin.
Key aspects of this opportunity include:
• Available funding and project awards are subject to final Congressional appropriations for Fiscal Year 2019.
• Up to 33 and one-third percent of the total Congressional appropriation to the GLFWRA is eligible to fund Regional Projects.
• Restoration and research projects require a 25% non-federal match.
• The Service anticipates to be substantially involved by performing one or more of the following activities in cooperative agreements.
• The two-page pre-proposals and Regional Project proposals are submitted to the Service for review.
