The mission of the Coastal Program is to protect and recover threatened and endangered species, migratory birds, and inter-jurisdictional fish - known as Federal Trust Species - by supporting voluntary restoration and the enhancement of high priority coastal habitats.

Our mission is to achieve voluntary habitat conservation by providing technical and financial assistance, in collaboration with partners, for the benefit of Federal trust species.

The National Fish Passage Program (NFPP) is a voluntary program which provides financial and technical assistance to reconnect aquatic habitats through the removal of barriers.

This program delivers on-the-ground habitat restoration projects that benefit federal trust species including migratory birds, threatened and endangered species, anadromous fish and marine mammals.

A variety of tools are available under the Endangered Species Act (ESA) to help States and landowners plan and implement projects to conserve species.
