The Interior Department has stopped dozens of environment-related grants to at least two nonprofit groups, recipients said Wednesday.
Interior agencies including the Fish and Wildlife Service and Bureau of Land Management stunned two organizations — California Trout and the Institute for Applied Ecology — on Tuesday with the declaration that their grants were canceled.
California Trout has received 28 FWS grants since fiscal 2014, according to a federal spending database.

The Oregon-based Institute for Applied Ecology was informed that it was losing 30 grants totaling about $10.3 million. All seven of California Trout’s active grants were axed.
