Opportunity Information: Apply for F26AS00005
The FY 2026 National Coastal Wetlands Conservation Grant Program (F26AS00005) offers funding to support long-term conservation of coastal wetlands to benefit wildlife, coastal communities, and the public. The program provides cost-sharing grants to eligible State and Territorial agencies for projects focused on acquiring, restoring, enhancing, or managing coastal wetland ecosystems. These wetlands are critical for flood protection, water quality, wildlife habitat, and economic activities like fishing and tourism.
Only agencies designated by state or territorial governors—typically natural resource or fish and wildlife agencies—are eligible to apply. Eligible locations include U.S. coastal states and territories bordering the Great Lakes, Atlantic, Pacific, and Gulf coasts, with the exception of Louisiana, which receives separate funding.
Projects must involve existing or historically documented wetland areas; the creation of new wetlands or activities lacking significant benefit to coastal ecosystems are not eligible. Grantees must also comply with all relevant federal laws and environmental regulations.
The program is managed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s Coastal Program and the Office of Conservation Investment.Apply for F26AS00005
