The Salmon Recovery Funding Board administers grants to provide funding of habitat protection and restoration projects and related programs and activities that produce sustainable and measurable benefits for fish and their habitat. Local governments, private landowners, conservation districts, Native American tribes, non-profit organizations, special purpose districts, and state agencies are eligible to receive funding.
Private landowners are eligible applicants only when the project takes place on their own land.
All projects must come through the local lead entity group. Once project lists are submitted, the lead entity representatives meet with a technical panel, made up of scientists from different disciplines and representing state government, federal government, local government, and private interest groups, to begin the review process. The technical panel will develop conclusions and submit recommendations to the SRFB for final funding decisions. The Grant Funding Decision meeting will be held in January 2001. Most documents will be readable as an Adobe Acrobat .pdf file.
