Aquatic Invasive Species Interjurisdictional Grants to Great Lakes States and Tribes

Using appropriations to the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative (GLRI), the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) anticipates providing grants to support implementation of Great Lakes State and Tribal Aquatic Invasive Species Management Plans (AIS Plans). Specifically, we are seeking interjurisdictional projects that are supported by a number of Great Lakes states and tribes in an effort to increase collaboration and improve overall effectiveness of AIS management and control efforts across the basin. All interjurisdictional grants will be awarded based on a competitive process for which only Great Lakes states and tribes are eligible.
