announcement, funding guidelines and application. Please Note: The
application for this partnership is new this year.
Eligible projects will accomplish meaningful on-the-ground restoration of

approach to restore fisheries habitat across coastal America and the Great
Lakes. Eligible applicants will be required to satisfy all financial and
programmatic requirements and meet all local, state and tribal
environmental laws and Federal consistency requirements before project
implementation.
