What is the Atlantic Coastal Fish Habitat Partnership (ACFHP)?

by Jessie Thomas

The Atlantic Coastal Fish Habitat Partnership (ACFHP) is a pilot effort under the National Fish Habitat Action Plan (NFHAP) to bring together fishery and non-fishery associated organizations (governmental (federal, state, local) 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.
