Opportunity Summary:
The Pacific Coastal Salmon Recovery Fund (PCSRF) is a discretionary federal grant opportunity run by the U.S. Department of Commerce through NOAA (specifically NOAA Fisheries). It was funded under the Fiscal Year 2016 Omnibus and Continuing Appropriations Resolution and is intended to cover necessary expenses tied to restoring Pacific salmon populations. In practical terms, the program is designed to put federal dollars behind on-the-ground and programmatic efforts that improve the status of salmon and steelhead and the habitats they rely on across the U.S. Pacific Coast and connected river systems.
Eligibility is focused on the core public and tribal co-managers of salmon recovery in the region. Funding is made available to the states of Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Nevada, California, and Alaska, as well as federally recognized tribes of the Columbia River and the Pacific Coast (including Alaska). The opportunity targets projects that conserve salmon and steelhead populations that are already listed as threatened or endangered, or that a state has identified as at-risk of becoming listed. It also explicitly supports efforts needed to maintain fish populations necessary for the exercise of tribal treaty fishing rights or for native subsistence fishing, which signals that the program is meant to align recovery work with legal and cultural fishing needs, not only endangered species objectives.
The scope of work emphasized by the notice centers on conservation and restoration, including the protection and improvement of Pacific coastal salmon and steelhead habitat. While the announcement summary does not list specific project types, the stated purpose makes clear that priority is on actions that directly support population recovery and habitat conservation, and that fit within the guidelines and priorities NOAA sets for awarding funds. The program sits within the broader areas of environment, natural resources, and research and development, reflecting that projects can include applied science and planning as long as they are tied to restoration outcomes.
Key administrative details from the posting include the opportunity title "Pacific Coastal Salmon Recovery Fund (PCSRF)" and opportunity number "NOAA NMFS WCRO 2016 2004770," with CFDA number 11.438. The funding instrument is a grant. The posting date and creation date were both February 3, 2016, and the application closing date was April 1, 2016. NOAA anticipated about 20 awards, and the listed award ceiling was $25,000,000 (noting this figure represents the maximum award size referenced in the opportunity record). Overall, this notice functions as NOAA's formal announcement of available PCSRF funds for eligible states and tribes, along with the priorities and guidelines that would govern how awards are made for salmon and steelhead recovery work.
