NOAA's Habitat Conservation Program works to conserve wetlands, rebuild shellfish habitat, reduce threats to coral reefs, and reopen fish passages. In total, we have completed and are working on more than 2,000 restoration projects across the country. Some of them are highlighted on this map. Explore the three divisions of the program for more detail: Protection, Restoration, and Chesapeake Bay.
