By Alabama NewsCenter Staff

The National Fish and Wildlife Foundation (NFWF) has announced $1.1 million in grants to restore and enhance aquatic habitats and improve populations of imperiled native freshwater aquatic species in watersheds in the Southeast, including Alabama.

The grants will leverage $1.1 million in matching contributions to generate a total conservation impact of nearly $2.2 million.

The grants were awarded through the Southeast Aquatics Fund, a competitive grant program and public-private partnership. Support for the fund comes from the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Forest Service, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Alabama Power parent Southern Company and the Altria Group.
