Hosted Feature Layer showing approved GCJV FY 2021 NAWCA Standard Grant Program projects.
<font face='Arial'>NAWCA grants increase bird populations and wetland habitat, while supporting local economies and American traditions such as hunting, fishing, bird watching, family farming, and cattle ranching. Wetlands protected by NAWCA provide valuable benefits such as flood control, reducing coastal erosion, improving water and air quality, and recharging ground water. In the past two decades, the North American Wetlands Conservation Act has funded over 3,000 projects totaling $1.83 billion in grants. More than 6,350 partners have contributed another $3.75 billion in matching funds to affect 30 million acres of habitat.<br /></font><div><font face='Arial'><b><br /></b></font></div><div><font face='Arial'><div><b>ABOUT THE GRANTS PROGRAM</b></div><div><br /></div><div>The NAWCA program provides matching grants to wetlands conservation projects in the United States, Canada, and Mexico.
