Opportunity Summary:
The Annual Breeding Waterfowl Survey in the Central Interior Plateau of British Columbia is a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service discretionary grant action intended to strengthen long-term monitoring of breeding waterfowl populations in interior British Columbia. The purpose is practical and management-driven: generate reliable population estimates of breeding ducks that can be rolled up by individual ecosection and across the entire survey area, then use those estimates to inform harvest strategy decisions for western mallards and to help set duck hunting regulations affecting the Pacific Flyway portion of the United States. In other words, the survey data collected in Canada feeds directly into U.S. migratory bird management and regulatory decisions, reflecting how waterfowl populations and harvest frameworks are managed across borders.
This posting is not a competitive funding opportunity and does not have a full solicitation attached. It is explicitly a notice of intent to make a single-source award, meaning the Service already intends to fund one specific recipient rather than evaluate multiple proposals. The intended recipient is the Canadian Wildlife Service, and the eligibility category shown is a foreign government agency. The award is authorized under CFDA 15.655 (Migratory Bird Monitoring, Assessment and Conservation) and the Fish and Wildlife Act of 1956, as amended (16 U.S.C. 742a-742j), which provides the legal basis for federal support of activities tied to fish and wildlife conservation, including monitoring and assessment.
The financial details are straightforward and fixed. The opportunity lists one expected award with an estimated total funding amount of $80,000, and both the award floor and ceiling are also $80,000, indicating the planned grant size is set rather than variable. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement noted, so the recipient is not expected to provide a mandatory non-federal match as a condition of the award. The funding instrument is a grant, and the activity category is natural resources, consistent with a field monitoring and population assessment program.
Timing information in the record shows this notice was posted March 15, 2011, created the same day, and carried an original and current closing date of March 16, 2011, with an archive date of April 15, 2011. Those dates reinforce that it functioned as a short administrative notice rather than an open call for applications. For questions or access issues, the listed point of contact is Todd Sander, Population Ecologist, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, reachable by phone at 503-231-2384 or by email at toddsanders@fws.gov.
