Funds NY-NJ harbor watershed restoration grants at $20 million a year through 2031, with up to full cost-sharing for poorer communities.
The details
The watersheds feeding New York and New Jersey harbors are home to millions of people but face serious environmental challenges. This bill would create a New York-New Jersey Watershed Restoration Program through the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, along with a competitive grant program for state, local, Tribal, and nonprofit organizations to carry out habitat restoration, water quality improvement, and climate resilience projects. It authorizes $20 million per year for fiscal years 2026 through 2031, with at least 75% going to grants. Small, rural, and disadvantaged communities could receive up to 90–100% federal cost-sharing.
