Opportunity Information: Apply for NOAA NMFS WCRO 2018 2005484
The Pacific Coastal Salmon Recovery Fund (PCSRF) is a discretionary federal grant program run by NOAA (within the Department of Commerce) to support on-the-ground efforts that restore and conserve Pacific salmon and steelhead. The funding is authorized under a Fiscal Year 2018 public law (the specific public law citation was to be finalized upon approval at the time of the notice), and it is intended to cover necessary expenses tied directly to recovering salmon populations and improving the habitats they depend on. In practice, the opportunity is designed to move money into high-priority recovery work across the U.S. West Coast and Alaska, using NOAA guidance on priorities and award administration.
Eligibility is limited to specific governmental entities rather than the general public or nonprofits. Applicants can be the States of Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Nevada, California, and Alaska, as well as federally recognized tribes located along the Columbia River and the Pacific Coast, including Alaska. The focus on states and tribes reflects how salmon recovery is typically planned and implemented: through state-led and tribal-led salmon recovery strategies, treaty-reserved fishing rights, and long-term stewardship responsibilities for river, estuary, and nearshore habitats.
The program targets projects that contribute to conservation outcomes for salmon and steelhead stocks under several categories of need. Funding can support work that benefits populations listed as threatened or endangered under the Endangered Species Act, or populations a state has identified as at-risk of becoming listed. It also supports efforts needed to maintain salmon runs that are essential for the exercise of tribal treaty fishing rights and for native subsistence fishing, which are legally and culturally significant in many parts of the region. Beyond specific stocks, PCSRF also emphasizes conservation of Pacific coastal salmon and steelhead habitat, recognizing that habitat conditions (such as access to spawning grounds, streamflow, water quality, riparian cover, estuary function, and passage at culverts or dams) are often the limiting factors for recovery.
Administratively, this opportunity is a grant (not a contract) and falls under activity areas that include environment, natural resources, science and technology, and other research and development. The CFDA number associated with the program is 11.438. The funding opportunity number is NOAA NMFS WCRO 2018 2005484, and the original closing date listed for applications was March 19, 2018, with the announcement created on December 22, 2017. The notice also lists an award ceiling of $25,000,000, indicating that individual awards or total awards under certain structures could be sizable, consistent with large-scale habitat restoration and recovery initiatives.
Overall, PCSRF is best understood as a targeted regional recovery funding stream meant to help states and eligible tribes carry out prioritized salmon and steelhead recovery actions, especially where those actions support ESA-listed or at-risk populations, uphold tribal fishing and subsistence needs, and produce durable habitat improvements across the Pacific Coast and Columbia River basins.Apply for NOAA NMFS WCRO 2018 2005484
