Call for Project Proposals – Great Lakes Basin Fish Habitat Partnership

December 21, 2009

The Great Lakes Basin Fish Habitat Partnership (Partnership) received funding from the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative to complete on-the-ground fish habitat projects. The Partnership recognizes that most work to protect, restore and enhance fish habitat will be done at the local level by local watershed associations, municipalities, tribes, states and non-governmental organizations. The Partnership will work with organizations to encourage local conservation actions that fit within the Partnership’s Strategic Plan priorities.

Up to $1 million will be available for habitat projects. A “project” is defined as an action that will protect, restore or enhance Great Lakes fish habitat. Project proposals will be compiled, ranked by a subcommittee of the Partnership and submitted to the Partnership’s Steering Committee for review. These funds are available through a portion of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s Great Lakes Restoration Initiative allocation, so the Service will be responsible for making final funding decisions. Expect final decisions in late spring/early summer 2010.

Please use the following guidelines and accompanying application template to submit your proposal. For questions, please call Pam Dryer, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, at 715-682-6185, ext. 17 or pam_dryer@fws.gov
