Federal Agencies - other than NPS » RESTORE Council Draft FPL 2026
The Gulf Coast Ecosystem Restoration Council (RESTORE Council or Council) was established by the Resources and Ecosystems Sustainability, Tourist Opportunities, and Revived Economies of the Gulf Coast States Act of 2012 (RESTORE Act) in order to help restore the ecosystem and economy of the Gulf Coast region by developing and overseeing implementation of a Comprehensive Plan and carrying out other responsibilities.
Pursuant to the RESTORE Act, the Council administers funding for Gulf ecosystem restoration. The Council approves projects and programs for the Council-Selected Restoration Component in what is called a Funded Priorities List (FPL). The Council develops Funded Priorities Lists (FPLs) through collaboration among its members and with feedback from stakeholders across the Gulf. This 2026 Funded Priorities List (FPL) proposal includes 19 ecosystem restoration projects and programs which build upon over $685 million in restoration activities previously identified by the Council. With these additional funds, the RESTORE Council will have committed over $1 Billion for restoration activities across the Gulf Coast under the Council-Selected Restoration Component of the RESTORE Act. In addition, the RESTORE Council proposes to reallocate $9,605,860 in savings from previously approved projects and programs to further support activities in this draft FPL. This draft 2026 FPL proposal also includes updates to the RESTORE 2022 Comprehensive Plan. Members of the public are invited to provide comments on this proposal.
The draft 2026 FPL will be available for public review and comment beginning November 20, 2025 and ending at 11:59 pm MDT on January 2, 2026. During this time frame, the RESTORE Council will provide an overview of the draft 2026 FPL via live public webinars. In general, all comments received, including attachments and other supporting materials, will be part of the public record and subject to public disclosure. Additionally, any business or personal information provided, such as names, addresses, email addresses, or telephone numbers will be part of the public record. You should only submit information that you wish to make publicly available.
