OPEN FORUMS

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Wildlife and Sport Fish Restoration Program (WSFR) is updating the Clean Vessel Act Grant Program (CVA) regulations at 50 CFR 85. As part of the process, WSFR has engaged with the CVA community of practice by hosting pre-regulatory discussions to gauge needs, attitudes, and benefits and to use the feedback received to update the regulations to better serve the purposes of CVA. Below are recordings to the discussions from 2022 - 2023.
