Cooperative Agreement
Overview
Grant Description
The Grand Traverse Band of Ottawa and Chippewa Indians will be awarded $3,600,000 to replace 12 road-stream crossings with fish passage infrastructure across 6 counties and 9 rivers and creeks. The fish barriers are not on tribal land but are within ceded territories that have cultural value to the Grand Traverse Band as a traditional fishery of the Anishinaabek.
The applicant will be investigating fish passage alternatives for two hydropower dams that are up for federal relicensing. Tower Dam and Kleber Dam block upstream passage of the Black Lake population of Lake Sturgeon, severely limiting tribal harvest of this culturally-important species.
This project will restore and protect healthy fisheries that support sustainable outdoor recreation and tourism, while helping to maintain and enhance the region's status as a desirable place to live, work, and recreate. Funding will also support hiring of an additional position to help with conservation planning, implementation, and partner engagement.
