Description
The National Coastal Wetlands Conservation Grant Program
was created to acquire, restore, and enhance wetlands in
coastal areas through competitive matching grants to
eligible State agencies. The Program is funded by revenues
collected from excise taxes on sport fishing equipment,
electric motors and sonar, import duties on fishing tackle,
yachts and pleasure craft, and a portion of gasoline tax
attributable to motorboats and small engines. Revenues are
deposited into and appropriated from the Sport Fish
Restoration and Boating Trust Fund.
