2018 National Fish Habitat Action Plan

The Fish and Wildlife Management Assistance Program provides technical and financial assistance to other federal agencies, states, local governments, Native American tribes, non governmental organizations, citizen groups, and landowners for the conservation and management of fish and wildlife resources. This includes minimizing the establishment, spread, and impact of aquatic invasive species. Specifically, aquatic habitat conservation projects under this program must protect, restore, and enhance fish and aquatic habitats, as outlined in the National Fish Habitat Action Plan (Action Plan). Projects under this program enhance recreational fishing opportunities for American sportsman and women by improving aquatic habitat that increases fish and aquatic populations. Funded projects may be carried out by Fish Habitat Partnerships (FHPs) recognized FHPs. ore information about the FHPs and their partners can be found online at www.fishhabitat.org.
