Coastal Program
The Pacific Islands Coastal Program is one of the regional programs under the USFWS Coastal Program. The Pacific Islands program provides a crucial link between private landowners, Federal agencies, State and local governments, and communities to facilitate significant coastal conservation efforts. Protection and restoration actions restore near-shore marine environments and benefit trust resources such as federally listed sea turtles, waterbirds, and endangered species, as well as migratory seabirds, shorebirds, wetlands, and coral reefs.
Established in 1999, the Pacific Islands Coastal Program provides project funding and technical support to:
- Restore and conserve coastal and near-shore marine habitats
- Conduct applied research to develop new restoration techniques
- Map and survey coastal species and their habitats
- Offer technical support to non-federal participants to purchase coastal habitat from willing sellers
- Provide environmental education programs
- Assist partners to obtain outside habitat restoration grants, such as National Coastal Wetlands Grants
