Description: The Great Lakes Restoration Initiative (GLRI) supports federal projects and grants aimed at jump-starting achievement of GLRI long term goals: safely eating the fish and swimming at our beaches, assuring safe drinking water, and providing a healthy ecosystem for fish and wildlife. The GLRI was announced in May of 2009 as part of the President&apos;s FY2010 budget. To guide this work, federal agencies have drafted GLRI Action Plan II, which summarizes the actions that federal agencies plan to implement during the years 2015-2019. Information about the GLRI, including agency-by-agency funding allocations, and general descriptions of the work that&#8217;s planned, is posted at http://greatlakesrestoration.us/.The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) is soliciting project proposals for federal assistance under the GLRI - Endangered Species Template (GLRI-ES). The GLRI - ES provides grants and other assistance on a competitive basis to individuals, groups, and government agencies engaged in voluntary conservation efforts to benefit species listed or proposed as endangered or threatened under the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (Act), candidate species, or other at-risk species within the Great Lakes Basin of the United States. The Service will award grants for actions and activities that protect, restore, and enhance habitats that benefit federally listed, proposed, or candidate species.
