The fund represents the first step in implementing a strategy developed by partners with guidance from the Service to focus conservation in four key areas: clean water, habitat, recreation, and flow management. This map displays projects that have been awarded funding to date to help conserve and connect lands and waterways that support native fish, wildlife, and plants, and contribute to the vitality of the communities in the watershed. This dataset represents the 12 projects, out of the total 36, that were awarded Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) funds. BIL awarded $4.7 million to fund innovative projects that use nature-based infrastructure to support restoration efforts in the Delaware watershed. All 36 projects funded in 2022 can be found here: https://fws.maps.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=da01f9a7ff834f428e276a55b60866ee</dc:description><dc:format>ArcGIS FeatureLayer</dc:format><dc:identifier>https://hub.arcgis.com/datasets/484673c0de5a4c2cacb4b7f06e80cde0_0</dc:identifier><dc:language>eng</dc:language><dc:publisher>U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Open Data</dc:publisher><dc:rights>Public</dc:rights><dc:title>Delaware Watershed National Fish and Wildlife Foundation Grants, Bipartisan Infrastructure Law Funded Projects, 2022, FWS Northeast Region [United States]</dc:title><dc:type>Web services</dc:type><dc:coverage>United States</dc:coverage><dc:date>2022</dc:date></oai_dc:dc>
