'''National Fish Passage Program''' (NFPP) is a Department of the Interior initiative led by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s Fish and Aquatic Conservation Program that collaborates with over 2,000 partners across the United States to remove or bypass more than 3,500 barriers—like outdated dams and culverts—reopening over 64,000 miles of river habitat for fish and aquatic species since 1999, enhancing biodiversity and community resilience as of 2025.

With a $200 million boost from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) over five years (2022-2026), it funded 43 projects in 29 states with $70.4 million in FY 2024, supporting species like Chinook salmon and bull trout, while creating jobs and reducing flood risks, exemplified by 2025 efforts like the Enloe Dam removal in New Hampshire restoring 39 miles of habitat.
