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 30 projects awarded funding from the Delaware Watershed Conservation Fund in 2019 . These projects will collectively restore 5.23 miles of riparian habitat and 12.32 miles of stream habitat, improve and assess 548 fish passage barriers, conserve and enhance 127 acres of wetland habitat, restore 20 acres of floodplain, prevent 5,000,000 gallons of stormwater runoff, improve 3,417 acres of forest habitat management, and open 117.1 acres for public access.</dc:description><dc:format>ArcGIS FeatureLayer</dc:format><dc:identifier>https://hub.arcgis.com/datasets/ab67de9da2244fba82b706b8e6889e66_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 2019, FWS Northeast Region [United States]</dc:title><dc:type>Web services</dc:type><dc:coverage>United States</dc:coverage><dc:date>2019</dc:date></oai_dc:dc>
