AdditionalInformationOnEligibility: Federal, State, interstate and intrastate agencies; local and tribal governments; public nonprofit institutions and organizations (such as conservation organizations, watershed councils, land trusts, schools and institutions of higher learning); U.S. territories and possessions; private landowners including individuals and businesses. The Coastal Program is geographically limited to its geographic focus areas -- only projects that address coastal habitat conservation in these specified areas can be funded. Contact your local Coastal Program coordinator if you are interested in requesting assistance for a coastal habitat conservation project. A listing of Coastal Program Coordinators is available at: http://www.fws.gov/coastal/contactUs.html
Description: Coastal ecosystems comprise less than 10 percent of the Nation&apos;s land area, but support far greater proportions of our living resources. Specifically, coastal areas support a much higher percentage of the Nation&apos;s threatened and endangered species,fishery resources, migratory songbirds, and migrating and wintering waterfowl. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service welcomes your participation in the Coastal Program. If you are interested in exploring the possibility of pursuing a cooperative agreement for habitat assessment, protection, and/or restoration; conservation planning and design; species and habitat inventory and monitoring; outreach and education; or simply receiving technical assistance, the first step is to contact your local Coastal Program coordinator. A listing of all Coastal Program coordinators is available at: http://www.fws.gov/coastal/contactUs.html.
