The purpose of the Natural Resource Damage Assessment and Restoration (NRDAR) Program is to restore natural resources and their services that have been injured by an oil spill or hazardous substance release for the benefit of the American people. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is a trustee for threatened and endangered species, migratory birds, at-risk species, and interjurisdictional fishes. We identify natural resources and their services that have been injured, determine the extent of the injuries, recover damages from responsible parties, and plan and carry out natural resource restoration activities.

In FY16, there were a few restoration projects that resulted in an unusually large number of acres managed/protected or made available for recreational opportunities. Therefore, we anticipate FY accomplishments to include approximately 4,000 acres and 100 miles of habitat enhanced or restored, 150,000 acres and 200 miles of habitat managed or protected, and 29,000 acres and 200 miles made available for recreational opportunities. We based this estimate on the 4 year average for each category. More than 6,000 acres and 200 streams/shorelines were enhanced and/or restored. More than 20,000 acres were newly managed, and more than 4,500 acres were protected through fee title or conservation easement. Nearly 400 river miles and 3,500 acres were made available for recreational opportunities. A total of 85 restoration projects were completed. Of those 85 projects, 26 projects benefited threatened or endangered species, 56 projects benefited migratory birds, 30 projects benefited interjurisdictional fishes, and 1 project benefited marine mammals (some projects benefited more than one trust resource category).
More than 1,900 acres of habitat and 130 miles of streams/shorelines were enhanced and/or restored. More than 42,000 acres were newly managed, and nearly 6,200 acres were protected through fee title or conservation easement. Nearly 50 river miles and 5,700 acres were made available for recreational opportunities. A total of 74 restoration projects were completed. Of those 74 projects, 31 projects benefited threatened or endangered species, 60 projects benefited migratory birds, 28 projects benefited interjurisdictional fishes, and 6 projects benefited marine mammals (some projects benefited more than one trust resource category).
More than 6,800 acres of habitat and 8,209 miles of streams/shorelines were enhanced and/or restored under the Natural Resource Damage Assessment and Restoration Program. More than 14,500 acres were newly managed, and nearly 4,000 acres were protected through fee title or conservation easement. More than 5,400 acres of land and 900 miles of river, trail and shoreline were made available for recreational opportunities. A total of 109 restoration projects were completed. Of those 109 projects, 21 projects benefited threatened or endangered species, 64 projects benefited migratory birds, 23 projects benefited interjurisdictional fishes, and 4 projects benefited marine mammals (some projects benefited more than one trust resource category).
In FY20, the program issued 32 awards to program partners for projects relating to wildlife monitoring and assessment, aquatic and terrestrial habitat restoration and improvement, data analysis, community outreach and education, and recreation enhancement.
In FY21, the program made 51 awards to program partners for natural resource damage assessment and restoration projects including wildlife monitoring and assessment, aquatic and terrestrial habitat restoration and improvement, data analysis, community outreach and education, and recreation enhancement.
Program made 30 awards to program partners for natural resource damage assessment and restoration projects including wildlife monitoring and assessment, aquatic and terrestrial habitat restoration and improvement, data analysis, community outreach and education, and recreation enhancement.
Program made 25 awards and expects to make approximately 30 awards in total (estimate) for natural resource damage assessment and restoration projects including wildlife monitoring and assessment, aquatic and terrestrial habitat restoration and improvement, data analysis, community outreach and education, and recreation enhancement.
At the time of publication, the program has issued 12 awards and expects to make approximately 25 awards in total (estimate) for natural resource damage assessment and restoration projects including wildlife monitoring and assessment, aquatic and terrestrial habitat restoration and improvement, data analysis, community outreach and education, and recreation enhancement.
In FY25, the program estimates that it will make 25 awards (estimate) for natural resource damage assessment and restoration projects including wildlife monitoring and assessment, aquatic and terrestrial habitat restoration and improvement, data analysis, community outreach and education, and recreation enhancement.
