The National Fish and Wildlife Foundation, in partnership with NOAA, today announced $25.2 million in grants to help coastal communities affected by storms and wildfires in 2020 or 2021 increase their resilience to future natural disasters. The new grants will leverage $4.9 million in additional funding to generate a total conservation impact of $30.1 million. Projects selected are employing a number of different nature-based activities that support wildlife such as wetland habitat restoration, living shoreline construction, and dam removal.
