Opportunity Summary:
The Region 7 Sport Fish Restoration (SFR) Grant Program (Funding Opportunity Number F14AS00031) is a mandatory federal grant opportunity administered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service under CFDA 15.605, Sport Fish Restoration Program. It is only open to state-level fish and game agencies (eligible applicants are listed as state governments), and it supports work that restores, manages, and improves sport fish resources while expanding or maintaining public access to those resources. The program’s activity areas sit primarily in natural resources and education, reflecting a mix of on-the-ground fisheries work and public-facing aquatic resource education.
SFR funding can be used for a wide range of practical fisheries and access projects. Eligible uses include land acquisition that supports fishing and fisheries management, development of boating access sites, scientific research projects related to sport fish and aquatic ecosystems, and the operation and maintenance of public fishing areas. It also covers construction and maintenance related to hatcheries and lakes, sport fish population management activities (such as assessments and actions aimed at sustaining or rebuilding populations), and fishing habitat improvements that benefit sport fish and anglers. In addition, the program allows coordination projects that support effective delivery of fisheries and access work, as well as aquatic resource education activities that help the public understand and responsibly use aquatic and sport fishing resources.
The opportunity has clear limits on what it will not fund. Activities specifically identified as ineligible include law enforcement of fish and game regulations, and public relations or promotional efforts intended to market or promote a fish and wildlife agency. In other words, the program is aimed at resource restoration, management, access, and education tied directly to aquatic resources and sport fishing, not policing or agency branding.
Award details indicate an expected 7 awards for this announcement. The listed award ceiling is up to $30,000,000, with an award floor of $0, and the estimated total funding is shown as $0 in the source data (which can occur in posted listings even when funds are available, depending on how the opportunity is recorded).
