Cost Share Program
Overview
The Department works to protect and restore fish habitat through regional cost share projects located in the
Matanuska-Susitna basin, Kenai Peninsula
and Fairbanks areas. In these programs, staff work cooperatively with private
land owners and public land managers to complete habitat restoration and protection projects. The Department’s cost share
projects began on the Kenai Peninsula in 1995, and have gradually expanded since that time. Hundreds of shoreline
rehabilitation and protection projects have been completed on miles of shoreline, providing benefits to habitat, fish,
wildlife and human residents of these watersheds.
