The National Fish Habitat Partnership seeks three candidates to join the National Fish Habitat Board. Join our efforts to protect, restore, and enhance fish habitat nationwide.
What is the National Fish Habitat Board?
As detailed in the ACE Act and Board's National Fish Habitat Action Plan (NFHP), the Board through its bylaws facilitates the coordination of fish habitat conservation efforts through 20 Fish Habitat Partnerships across the United States. The Partnerships focus on specific geographic regions, species, or habitat types and use an evidence-based, scientific approach to conservation. The 28-member Board is composed of representatives from federal and state agencies, non-governmental organizations, private industry, and other partners. Through participation in committees and ad hoc working groups, Board members are responsible for the following:
- Supporting the National Network of Fish Habitat Partnerships.
- Reviewing Fish Habitat Partnership project submissions.
- Establishing National Conservation Priorities.
- Communicating NFHP activities with a variety of audiences including Congress.
- Developing national habitat assessments to evaluate the condition of U.S. aquatic habitats.
- Further implementing NFHP provisions of the America's Conservation Enhancement Act and Reauthorization.
