Mission: To protect, restore, and promote public
stewardship of coastal ecosystems, through the development of innovative
conservation partnerships.
The
Southeast Alaska Coastal Program works with multiple partners on cooperative
coastal conservation projects. Projects may involve habitat protection,
restoration, or assessment, research, public education, or other work
benefiting coastal ecosystems. We will give priority to projects which
best meet the Coastal Program's mission to protect, restore, and promote
public stewardship of coastal ecosystems for the benefit of fish,
wildlife, and people. The program seeks to catalyze broad, innovative
conservation partnerships, with particular focus on conservation efforts
for migratory birds, anadromous fish, marine mammals, and endangered
species and their habitats.
How does the program work? The Southeast Alaska
Coastal Conservation Grants Program seeks projects that build conservation
partnerships throughout Southeast Alaska. Applications are encouraged
from nonprofit organizations, educational organization, state, local,
and tribal governments. Applications are not accepted from for-profit
organizations. Project may not involve political advocacy or litigation.
Grant requests typically do not exceed $25,000. A non-federal match
of 40% or more of the total project cost, either in cash or in in-kind
services, is desired. Proposals with less than a 40% match will be
considered, but will be ranked lower than comparable projects with
a full match. Previous grant award winners are eligible and previously
funded projects are eligible to compete for supplemental funding with
applications for new awards. Please contact the Juneau Fish &
Wildlife Field Office for more program information.
