The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is now accepting aquatic habitat restoration project proposals for FY 2013 funding through the Southeast Aquatic Resources Partnership (SARP) and the National Fish Habitat Action Plan. All proposals should be developed in coordination with a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Fisheries Resource Office listed for your state in the proposal form. Please provide the information listed in the downloadable “SARP FY 2013 Aquatic Habitat Restoration Proposal Form” for each project. Proposals should be emailed to Tripp Boltin of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Proposals should be submitted by November 21, 2012. Projects eligible for funding include those which directly restore or enhance aquatic habitat via on-the-ground modification. Minimal funding should be included within the proposal for post-project monitoring. Additionally, projects to remove or by pass barriers to fish migration, excluding those activities prescribed within a license issued through FERC, should be included. An electronic photo (jpeg format) of the barrier(s) should be provided. For complete proposal guidelines click here.
