The mission of the Bureau of Reclamation is to manage, develop, and protect water and related resources in an environmentally and economically sound manner in the interest of the American public.
The Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act Program Financial Assistance for Fiscal Year 2024 provides funding under the authority of the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act. The program emphasizes the improvement of fish and wildlife habitat related to water systems affected by Bureau of Reclamation projects. It supports activities such as the construction of fish passage and screening facilities, planning and design of instream habitat improvements on both Reclamation-associated and privately-owned lands, and the monitoring and evaluation of the impact of Reclamation's operations on fish and wildlife resources. This includes actions concerning species listed under the Endangered Species Act (ESA).
