Description

The Fish and Wildlife Service is offering a grant opportunity titled "Feather River/Sutter Bypass Nelson Slough (CDFW Nelson Slough Unit) Floodplain Feasibility for Juvenile Salmonid Habitat Improvement". This grant aims to assess potential solutions to increase floodplain habitat in the lower Feather River corridor through Nelson Slough, with a focus on improving the quality of juvenile salmonid rearing habitat. The project will involve the identification, development, and feasibility of a floodplain connectivity solution primarily benefiting juvenile salmonids. The grant will fund activities such as information gathering, data collection and evaluation, development of hydrodynamic flow and sediment transport models, and the facilitation of meetings with the Technical Advisory Committee. The project is located in the California Department of Fish and Wildlife's Feather River Wildlife Area - Nelson Slough Unit. It is expected to increase floodplain habitat available to Feather, Yuba, and Bear River salmonids by up to 1,000 acres or more under certain flow conditions, benefiting various fish populations including Chinook salmon and steelhead. The grant does not require cost sharing or matching and is open to small businesses. The closing date for applications is July 22, 2024.

F25AS00014 Sea Duck Joint Venture FY25 Competitive Grants
Active
Fish and Wildlife Service
The Fish and Wildlife Service is offering competitive grants through the Sea Duck Joint Venture (SDJV) to support the conservation of North American sea ducks. The SDJV is a partnership between federal and state/provincial wildlife agencies, non-governmental organizations, and other entities committed to sea duck conservation. The grants aim to provide scientific knowledge and understanding of sea duck biology and ecology to support effective management. The SDJV is particularly focused on preventing further listings of sea duck species under the U.S. Endangered Species Act and the Species at Risk Act in Canada. The funded projects will contribute to monitoring the status of sea duck populations and addressing factors that diminish their abundance. This is crucial for supporting traditional harvests of sea ducks important for subsistence hunters in rural northern communities, as well as waterfowl hunting opportunities in coastal areas of the Atlantic, Great Lakes, and Pacific regions. The SDJV is requesting proposals that address research priorities such as migratory connectivity of sea ducks, Indigenous Knowledge, fecundity and survival rates, habitat use, effects of anthropogenic activities and climate change, disease and parasites, stakeholder viewpoints, sea duck harvest estimates, and the effects of changing predator communities. The grants will also support the development of new techniques or technologies to advance sea duck research. Interested applicants are encouraged to contact the SDJV Coordinators and JV associates for guidance before submitting proposals. The deadline for electronically submitted applications is 11:59 PM Eastern Time on the listed due date. It is important to ensure confirmation of delivery. Applications received after the deadline will only be considered under extraordinary circumstances.
