Funding Pacific Lamprey Conservation

PLCI is supported by two dedicated project funding sources: Bonneville Power Administration’s (BPA) PLCI Columbia River Basin Projects and National Fish Habitat Partnership (NFHP) project funding. 

Collaborative discussions and project development within the RMUs are highly encouraged and all project proposals will be required to demonstrate which and how threats relative to the RMUs where the project would occur are addressed.

Each year, the Pacific Lamprey Conservation Initiative’s (PLCI) Regional Management Units (RMUs) meet to revisit, and when necessary, revise their Regional Implementation Plans (RIPs). These RIPs summarize the status and threats to Pacific Lamprey and identify projects (e.g., habitat restoration, passage improvements, research, outreach and education, etc.) needed to address threats to and/or information needs for Pacific Lamprey and their habitats. The purpose of this process is to encourage communication and collaboration among partners, facilitate access to funding, and support the development and implementation of high-priority restoration and research projects that directly benefit Pacific Lamprey throughout their historical range in the United States.

The request for proposals for funding from the PLCI/Bonneville Power Administration is closed. The new request for proposals for 2026 funding will open in October 2025.

The request for proposals for funding from the PLCI/National Fish Habitat Partnership is closed.
