Opportunity Summary:
The Fish and Wildlife Management Assistance opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number F16AS00339) is a discretionary Department of the Interior, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) cooperative agreement focused on supporting the Hoopa Valley Tribe as it works to address long-running water-related conflicts in the Klamath Basin. The core purpose is to provide targeted financial support for the Tribe's continued engagement in negotiations and related coordination efforts aimed at reducing disputes over water availability and the resulting impacts on fish and fisheries resources in the basin. At the same time, the award is framed as part of USFWS meeting its tribal trust responsibilities to the Hoopa Valley Tribe, meaning the funding also supports the federal government's obligations to work with and assist the Tribe on matters affecting its resources and rights.
The work supported by this award is tied to agreements signed by the Secretary of the Interior on April 6, 2016, which called on Klamath Basin stakeholders to participate in good-faith efforts over the following year to try to resolve water disputes. The grant description anticipates that this process would play out across 2016 and 2017 and potentially extend beyond that timeframe, reflecting the complexity and duration of Klamath Basin conflicts. The emphasis is on collaborative problem-solving to address entrenched issues where water management decisions affect fisheries, including how flows and allocations influence fish habitat and broader ecosystem health.
From an administrative standpoint, this opportunity falls under CFDA 15.608 (Fish and Wildlife Management Assistance) and is categorized under Natural Resources. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates substantial federal involvement or collaboration during the project period rather than a hands-off grant. The legal authority cited for the award is the Fish and Wildlife Act of 1956, as amended (16 U.S.C. 742a-742j), which provides a foundation for federal actions and assistance related to fish and wildlife conservation and management.
In terms of who could apply, eligibility is listed as federally recognized Native American tribal governments. However, the posting makes clear this was a single-source award: the recipient had already been selected, and the opportunity was not intended for open competition. The anticipated award profile reflects that structure, with one expected award and an award ceiling of $50,000. The opportunity was created on July 12, 2016, with an original closing date of July 17, 2016, consistent with a short administrative window often seen in pre-selected or non-competitive awards.
Overall, this funding opportunity is best understood as a modest, targeted federal investment to support the Hoopa Valley Tribe's role in basin-wide negotiations and coordination efforts intended to reduce water conflict and protect fisheries in the Klamath Basin, while also helping USFWS carry out its trust-related responsibilities through active partnership and support.
