The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) is now accepting project proposals to protect, restore and enhance Great Lakes fish and wildlife habitat under the Great Lakes Fish and Wildlife Restoration Act (GLFWRA).

FWS has requested those interested to submit restoration, research, and Regional Project proposals. GLFWRA aims to assist States, Tribes, and other interested entities to encourage cooperative conservation, restoration and management of Great Lakes resources.

Supported by the GLRI, FWS expects to award about $1.8 million to support proposals. The deadline for proposal submissions is Wednesday, January 5, 2022 by 4:00 p.m. CST.
