GLIN==> Great Lakes Basin Fish Habitat Partnership - Request for Proposals

Call for Project Proposals - Great Lakes Basin Fish Habitat Partnership
- December 21, 2009
http://greatlakesrestoration.us/?p=230

The Great Lakes Basin Fish Habitat Partnership (Partnership) received
funding from the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative to complete
on-the-ground fish habitat projects. The Partnership recognizes that
most work to protect, restore and enhance fish habitat will be done at
the local level by local watershed associations, municipalities, tribes,
states and nongovernmental organizations. The Partnership will work with
organizations to encourage local conservation actions that fit within
the Partnership’s Strategic Plan priorities.

Up to $1 million will be available for habitat projects. A “project” is
defined as an action that will protect, restore or enhance Great Lakes
fish habitat. Project proposals will be compiled, ranked by a
subcommittee of the Partnership and submitted to the Partnership’s
Steering Committee for review. These funds are available through a
portion of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s Great Lakes Restoration
Initiative allocation, so the Service will be responsible for making
final funding decisions. Expect final decisions in late spring/early
summer 2010.

Please use the following guidelines and accompanying application
template to submit your proposal. For questions, please call Pam Dryer,
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, at 715-682-6185, ext. 17 or
pam_dryer at fws.gov
