NOAA’s Office of Habitat Conservation and Rec Fish Initiative are pleased to announce that we are collaborating again this year to offer another informal funding opportunity in FY25 for Coastal Fish Habitat Partnership projects that support habitat conservation or restoration and engagement with the recreational fishing community. The total funding available is approximately $150,000. The deadline for proposals is April 18, 2025.

Proposals should be submitted to NOAA by Fish Habitat Partnership coordinators, Forum partners, or NOAA staff working closely with an Fish Habitat Partnership. Anyone interested in submitting a proposal should coordinate with the Forum coordinator.

There is a GoToWebinar scheduled for Wednesday, December 4 at 3:00 – 4:00 PM ET (click here to register) for anyone who is able to join to review the call for proposals and allow participants to ask questions about the opportunity (invite to follow). The webinar will be recorded and distributed to this audience as well.
