Fishery Improvement Partnership Fund

NFWF’s Fishery Improvement Partnership Fund is an investment model to help address overfishing, one of the biggest threats to the global seafood supply. The Fund, supported by the Walton Family Fund and Darden Restaurants, will leverage philanthropic, industry and government resources to help develop and advance Fishery Improvement Projects (FIPs) worldwide, with particular emphasis on fisheries that supply the US seafood market.

Fishing for Energy

The Fishing for Energy partnership provided commercial fishermen with no-cost solutions to dispose of derelict and retired fishing gear and offered competitive grants to reduce the impacts of derelict fishing gear on the environment. By helping prevent and remove derelict gear, Fishing for Energy restored the quality of marine and coastal habitats and supported communities and industries that rely on these resources.

Five Star and Urban Waters Restoration Grant Program

The Five Star and Urban Waters Restoration Program seeks to develop nationwide community stewardship of local natural resources, preserving these resources for future generations and enhancing habitat for local wildlife. Grants seek to address water quality issues in priority watersheds, such as erosion due to unstable streambanks, pollution from stormwater runoff, and degraded shorelines caused by development.
