Details:
The Priority Habitat Conservation Projects list is a proactive effort by DNR Fisheries to encourage projects that address priorities for sustaining healthy habitats, fisheries, and aquatic communities. It is intended to be used for the Fisheries Habitat Grant as well as other conservation activities across the state. Partners should review this list for projects of interest and discuss methods, eligibility, and other factors with staff. This public list is not all-inclusive of DNR-supported projects, and potential partners should consult with DNR Fisheries staff when choosing and developing proposed habitat projects. The order in which Priority Habitat Conservation Projects are listed and their project IDs do not imply a ranking among projects. Project IDs may not be sequential due to changes in priorities or completion of past priorities.
