What the grant funds

NOAA announces the availability of Federal funding, authorized pursuant to the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, Pub. L. 117-58 (November 15, 2021), hereinafter the “Bipartisan Infrastructure Law” or “BIL”; Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2024, Pub. L. 118- 42 (March 8, 2024); Continuing Appropriations and Extensions Act, 2025, Pub. L. 118-83 (September 26, 2024), for necessary expenses associated with the restoration of Pacific salmon populations. The Pacific Coastal Salmon Recovery Fund (PCSRF) program makes such funding available to the States of Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Nevada, California, and Alaska, and federally recognized tribes of the Columbia River and Pacific Coast (including Alaska) for projects necessary for the conservation of salmon and steelhead populations listed as threatened or endangered, or identified by a State as at-risk to be so-listed; for maintaining populations necessary for exercise of tribal treaty fishing rights or native subsistence fishing; or for the conservation of Pacific coastal salmon and steelhead habitat. A federally recognized tribe is defined as an Indian or Alaska Native tribe, band, nation, pueblo, village or community that the Secretary of the Interior acknowledges to exist as an Indian tribe pursuant to the Federally Recognized Indian Tribe List Act of 1994, 25 U.S.C. §§ 5130, 5131. See Executive Order No. 13175 (2000). Native subsistence is inclusive of federally recognized non-treaty tribal salmon fisheries. This announcement outlines the priorities and guidelines that will be used to award funding to eligible entities.
