Opportunity Summary:
The Pacific Coastal Salmon Recovery Fund (PCSRF) is a NOAA grant program run through the U.S. Department of Commerce that supports on-the-ground efforts to restore and conserve Pacific salmon and steelhead and the habitats these fish depend on. The funding is authorized under federal law tied to boundary and transboundary river restoration and enhancement (16 U.S.C. 3645(d)(2)), and it is designed to help address declines in salmonid populations across the Pacific Coast and Columbia River regions. In practical terms, this opportunity provides discretionary grant funding for projects that improve habitat conditions, bolster at-risk fish populations, and support long-term recovery efforts, especially where fish runs are threatened, endangered, or trending toward listing under the Endangered Species Act.
Eligibility is limited to a specific set of governmental recipients: the States of Alaska, Washington, Oregon, Idaho, California, and Nevada, along with federally recognized tribes of the Columbia River and Pacific Coast. The program is meant to cover projects that are necessary for the conservation of salmon and steelhead populations that are already listed as threatened or endangered, or that a state has identified as at risk of becoming listed. The notice also emphasizes purposes tied to treaty and subsistence needs, meaning projects can be justified not only by biological recovery goals but also by the need to maintain fish populations required for the exercise of tribal treaty fishing rights and native subsistence fishing. Another major focus is conservation and restoration of salmon and steelhead habitat along the Pacific coast and associated watersheds.
From a funding perspective, the opportunity is sizable. NOAA estimated total available funding at about $80,000,000 for the program cycle described in the notice, with an award ceiling listed at $30,000,000. The funding instrument is a grant, and the opportunity includes a cost-sharing or matching requirement, so applicants should expect to contribute non-federal resources (cash or eligible in-kind support, depending on the full announcement rules) toward the overall project costs. The announcement itself is framed as guidance for how NOAA will distribute PCSRF funds among the eligible states and tribes, implying that recipients will need to align proposed work with NOAA and NMFS priorities for salmon recovery, demonstrated biological benefit, and clear conservation outcomes.
Administratively, the opportunity is identified as Funding Opportunity Number NOAA NMFS NWRO 2011 2002889 and is associated with CFDA 11.438 (Pacific Coast Salmon Recovery / Pacific Salmon Treaty Program). It was posted on January 10, 2011, with an application closing date of March 11, 2011, and an archive date of April 10, 2011. Applicants were directed to access the complete announcement through the "Full Opportunity" link in the posting, and a NOAA contact (Steve Drescher, Policy Advisor) was listed for help if there were issues accessing or downloading application materials.
