2025 Year in Review: Restoring America’s Waterways

In 2025, NOAA’s Damage Assessment, Remediation, and Restoration Program (DARRP) supported coastal recovery across the country from the West Coast and Hawaiʻi to the Southeast and Northeast. Our 2025 highlights showcase the power of settlements in action through funding innovative coral restoration, habitat restoration projects, and the protection of vital fisheries across the nation. See how these investments are strengthening the ocean economy, recreational opportunities, and restoring your local waterways.

Restoring Coastal Communities After Pollution

For over 30 years, NOAA and partners have recovered over $10.8 billion to restore fish, wildlife, and habitats harmed by pollution. Restoration also provides economic and cultural benefits to coastal populations, benefiting local communities and ocean economies. Visit the Damage, Assessment, Remediation and Restoration Program website to learn more about our work in coastal recovery. 

DARRP is a joint program of the NOAA National Ocean Service's Office of Response & Restoration, NOAA Fisheries' Office of Habitat Conservation, and NOAA Office of General Counsel, Natural Resources Section.
