Community-Based Habitat Restoration | NOAA Fisheries Community-Based Habitat Restoration NOAA’s Community-based Restoration Program provides funding and technical assistance to develop habitat restoration projects that support our nation’s fisheries. Removal of Merrimack Dam in New Hampshire. Fish depend on healthy habitat to eat, grow, and reproduce.
But coastal areas face many threats that reduce the amount of healthy habitat available. Degraded habitat is one of the largest obstacles to rebuilding sustainable fisheries. NOAA’s Community-based Restoration Program provides funding and technical assistance for restoration projects that ensure fish have access to the high quality habitat they rely on.
Since its start in 1996, the Community-based Restoration Program has contributed over $600 million to more than 2,800 coastal habitat restoration projects. These projects have restored more than 130,000 acres of habitat and opened more than 6,100 stream miles for fish migration. The program is also managing the significant funding provided through the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act .
With this funding, we've provided approximately $1 billion for 212 awards to date. Information about many of the projects supported through the Community-based Restoration Program can be found in the NOAA Restoration Atlas . Projects range from reopening rivers to fish migration , to restoring coral and oyster reefs , to rebuilding coastal wetlands .
In addition to supporting fisheries, habitat restoration benefits communities and the economy. Restoration projects can help increase protection from flooding, provide commercial and recreational opportunities, boost public safety, and reduce maintenance costs. Our staff work closely with restoration partners across the country to develop high quality projects.
These partners leverage funding that allows us to implement projects efficiently and achieve far greater outcomes than could be achieved with federal funding alone. We’ve partnered with more than 3,000 organizations from all sectors, including non-profits, state agencies, tribal organizations, and local governments.
