Fish and Wildlife Service

Description

The Coastal Program is a voluntary, incentive-based program that provides technical and financial assistance to coastal communities and landowners to restore and protect fish and wildlife habitat on public and private lands. The Coastal Program is not a conventional grants program, in that it does not solicit projects through a request for proposals. Instead, projects are developed strategically, in coordination with partners, and with substantial involvement from Service field biologists. If you are interested in working with the Coastal Program, please visit our website to find the nearest Coastal Program office. http://www.fws.gov/coastal/contactUs.html
