The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is offering grants through the National Fish Passage Program (NFPP) for projects aimed at restoring aquatic connectivity, enhancing community safety, and supporting local economies. The program provides technical and financial assistance for initiatives such as dam removals, culvert replacements, and floodplain restoration, with a total funding pool of $10 million and individual awards ranging from $1 to $1 million. This funding is crucial for projects that benefit ecological health and community resilience, with an estimated economic return of $1.5 million for every $1 million invested. Interested applicants, including government entities, tribal organizations, non-profits, and private institutions, must coordinate with NFPP regional staff before submitting applications, which are accepted on a rolling basis until December 31, 2025.
