Priority 1 Project Types
Projects that restore, enhance, or protect salmonid habitat in anadromous watersheds through implementation or design projects that lead to implementation. Approximately 65% of the PCSRF grant award will fund Priority 1 Projects.

CDFW’s Fisheries Branch leads efforts that monitor status and trends and directly contribute to population viability assessments for E SA -listed anadromous salmonids. Approximately 25% of the PCSRF grant award will fund Priority 2 activities.
