Project types that will be given the highest priority include:

- Instream habitat enhancement and protection projects; and
- Water conservation projects.
Since 2016, the Bureau of Reclamation Klamath Basin Coho Habitat Restoration Program has awarded approximately $2.5 million to 21 projects. These projects have leveraged over $2.8 in matching funds and in-kind contributions.
