The Atlantic Coastal Fish Habitat Partnership (ACFHP) is requesting project applications for funding to restore and conserve habitat necessary to support coastal, estuarine dependent, and diadromous fish species.

Applications in MS Word format must be received by 5:00 pm Eastern time on Friday, January 20th, 2023 for FY2024 project funding consideration.
