NOAA is recommending $8.9 million in Great Lakes Restoration Initiative funding for two new multi-year partnership cooperative agreements and two ongoing multi-year awards. These investments will restore habitat for Great Lakes species by opening river systems to fish passage, reconnecting rivers to their floodplains, and enhancing river, stream, and wetland habitats.
