• Protected Species Cooperative Conservation
  Under section 6 of the Endangered Species Act, States may receive grants to support the development of conservation programs for threatened, endangered, candidate, and recently de-listed species. Grants may support development and implementation of management plans, research and monitoring efforts, and education and outreach activities.
  
  
• Prescott Marine Mammal Rescue Assistance Grant Program
  In 2000, Congress established the Prescott Marine Mammal Rescue Assistance Program. It was named after John H. Prescott, a world-renowned marine mammal expert and conservationist. Eligible stranding network members can receive upwards of $100,000 in annual funding. In addition, a portion of the Prescott fund is set aside at the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation for emergency assistance during catastrophic stranding events.
  
  
• Proactive Species Conservation Program
  NMFS has initiated a grant program to support proactive conservation efforts designed to conserve marine and anadromous species before listing under the Endangered Species Act (ESA) becomes necessary.
