Cooperative Agreement
Overview
Grant Description
Purpose: Using restored tidal flow to combat migratory fish decline and increase climate resilience.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is providing $4,490,000 in federal funding to Maine Department of Marine Resources through FY2023 Bipartisan Infrastructure Law Coastal Zone Management Habitat Restoration and Conservation Competition.
This project will be fully supported through funding available under the Inflation Reduction Act.
This funding will increase climate resilience of coastal communities within coastal counties through habitat restoration planning, engineering and design projects, habitat restoration implementation projects, and land conservation projects.
Specifically, the Maine Department of Marine Resources will use these funds to replace aging, undersized pipe culverts with open-bottom, habitat-supportive spans designed using coastwise principles and incorporating climate resilient features.
Removal of the culverts at the Buttermilk Brook crossing in Brunswick and Corbett Brook crossing in Perry will improve salt marsh connectivity and resilience, providing critical habitat for commercially and culturally important fish species for the Passamaquoddy Tribe, who will be involved with the monitoring of the project in Perry.
