Opportunity Summary:
The R6 Sport Fish Restoration Grant Program (Funding Opportunity Number F13AS00085) is a mandatory federal grant opportunity administered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service under CFDA 15.605, the Sport Fish Restoration Program. It is specifically limited to state-level fish and game agencies (eligible applicants are state governments, including the 50 U.S. states as well as U.S. commonwealths and territories). The overall purpose of the program is to provide federal funding to help restore, conserve, and manage sport fish populations while also improving or maintaining public access to sport fishing opportunities.
The grant supports a wide range of natural resource activities tied directly to sport fish restoration and related recreational infrastructure. Allowable projects include acquiring land that supports fisheries resources or public fishing access, developing and improving boating access sites, conducting research projects related to sport fisheries, and operating and maintaining public fishing areas. It also supports construction, maintenance, and improvement of hatcheries and lakes, along with sport fish population management efforts such as stocking programs or other fishery management actions. In addition, the program funds fishing habitat improvements, coordination projects that help align fisheries work across partners or jurisdictions, and aquatic resource education efforts that build public understanding and responsible use of aquatic resources. Collectively, these activities are meant to strengthen sport fish populations and ensure the public can reach and use these waters safely and sustainably.
Certain activities are expressly not eligible. Funds cannot be used for law enforcement of fish and game regulations, and they also cannot support public relations or promotional campaigns designed to market or promote the fish and wildlife agency itself. In other words, the program is intended to pay for on-the-ground fisheries and access outcomes, not enforcement operations or agency publicity.
From an administrative standpoint, this opportunity is listed as a grant (Funding Instrument Type: Grant) in the natural resources category, and it includes a cost-sharing or matching requirement. The posting and creation dates are February 11, 2013, with an original and current closing date of August 31, 2014, and an archive date of November 1, 2014. The listing shows $0 for estimated total funding and $0 for award floor and ceiling, which typically indicates the public notice did not specify dollar amounts in that field rather than implying the program provides no funding. Additional details were available through Grants.gov at the time of posting.
For applicant support or access issues related to the full announcement, the contact listed is Maria Sanchez at the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, reachable at 303-236-8185 or via email at MariaSanchez@fws.gov.
