Salmon recovery grants are used to restore degraded salmon habitat and protect existing, high-quality habitat. Projects may include the actual habitat used by salmon and the land and water that support processes important to salmon. Applicants must demonstrate how their projects address the goals and actions defined in the regional recovery plans or lead entity strategies. Typical projects include:

Replacing barriers to fish migration
Replanting stream banks
Removing dikes, levees, and shoreline armoring
Installing logjams to slow rivers and create habitat
Restoring estuaries
Buying pristine habitat
Completing designs for future projects

Acquisition projects must be managed and protected as salmon habitat forever. Restoration projects must be managed and maintained as improved salmon habitat for at least 10 years after construction is completed.
