The Atlantic Coastal Fish Habitat Partnership is a pilot effort under the National Fish Habitat Action Plan to bring together fishery and non-fishery associated governmental organizations (federal,state,local,tribal) and non-governmental organizations (academic,non-profit,professional,etc.)to work cooperatively for the benefit of coastal habitats along the Atlantic seaboard. The partnership will promote the sustainability of Atlantic coast diadromous and other estuarine-dependent fishes and their essential habitats through on-the-ground habitat protection and restoration projects.
