Opportunity Information: Apply for F18AS00114
The National Coastal Wetlands Conservation Grant Program is a competitive, discretionary grant opportunity run by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Fish and Wildlife Service (CFDA 15.614). It was created under the Coastal Wetlands Planning, Protection, and Restoration Act (Title III, Section 301 of Public Law 101-646; 16 U.S.C. 3951-3956) to support the long-term conservation of coastal wetland ecosystems. The program is designed to help protect and improve coastal wetlands by funding projects that acquire wetlands, restore degraded wetlands, or enhance existing wetland habitats in coastal areas. In practical terms, it is aimed at safeguarding the ecological functions of coastal wetlands, such as wildlife habitat, water quality improvement, flood and storm buffering, and overall resilience of coastal landscapes over time.
The funding source for this program is notable because it is tied directly to boating and sport-fishing related revenues rather than general appropriations. Program dollars come from excise taxes on sport fishing equipment, electric motors and sonar, import duties on fishing tackle, yachts and pleasure craft, and a portion of the federal gasoline tax attributable to motorboats and small engines. Those revenues flow into the Sport Fish Restoration and Boating Trust Fund, which is then used to support grant-making under this program. The statutory authority to continue funding was extended by the Fixing America’s Surface Transportation (FAST) Act (P.L. 114-94), which authorized the program through Fiscal Year 2021, reinforcing federal commitment to coastal wetland conservation as an ongoing priority.
Eligibility is limited to state governments, specifically eligible state agencies, and awards are made as matching grants, meaning states are expected to provide non-federal cost share as part of the project financing. The opportunity listed (Funding Opportunity Number F18AS00114) reflects a 2018 funding cycle, with an original closing date of June 29, 2018. The award ceiling was up to $1,000,000 per award, and the program anticipated making about 20 awards under this announcement. Overall, the opportunity supports state-led, on-the-ground conservation work in coastal zones, using a competitive selection process to direct funds to projects with strong wetland protection, restoration, or enhancement outcomes and durable long-term conservation benefits.Apply for F18AS00114
