Administration Supports New Fisheries Habitat Initiative in DOI As momentum builds for the roll-out of the National Fish Habitat Action Plan this spring, a request for $3 million for the National Fish Habitat Initiative was announced as part of the President’s formal budget proposal to Congress for Fiscal Year 2007 as part of the Fish and Wildlife Service request. The new funding will support fish habitat projects identified by partnerships established under the action plan. NOAA Fisheries’ Assistant Administrator, Bill Hogarth, sits on the Executive Leadership Team of the initiative along with representatives from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the International Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies. Through this initiative, NOAA hopes to build upon its current habitat protection restoration programs through better coordination among partners, more strategic prioritization of projects, and increased funding.
