Opportunity Summary:
The Atlantic Flyway Council Cooperative Waterfowl Banding opportunity is a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) discretionary funding action structured as a cooperative agreement under CFDA 15.655 (Migratory Bird Monitoring, Assessment and Conservation) and the Fish and Wildlife Act of 1956, as amended (16 USC 742a 742j). It was posted on May 26, 2011, with an original and final closing date of May 31, 2011, and it was later archived on June 30, 2011. The total funding amount is fixed at $93,500, which is both the award floor and ceiling, and the agency expected to make one award. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement indicated.
This notice is explicitly a single-source notice of intent to award, meaning it is not a competitive grant opportunity and there is no full announcement associated with it. In practical terms, it is not a call for proposals and does not invite applications from the general public; instead, FWS is signaling its intent to make a sole award to a specific organization, the Wildlife Management Institute. While the eligibility category listed is nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education), the intent statement makes clear that the recipient is predetermined for this action.
The purpose of the funding is to continue an ongoing cooperative project that supports duck harvest management strategies for the Atlantic Flyway. The work centers on annual, preseason duck banding programs that generate critical data used to estimate harvest rates and survival rates, particularly for mallards and American black ducks. These two species are highlighted because they are among the most important duck species in the Atlantic Flyway, and management decisions about hunting regulations and conservation strategies depend heavily on reliable estimates of how many birds survive from year to year and what portion of the population is harvested.
A key operational detail is that effective banding for Atlantic Flyway management has to be concentrated in eastern Canada. The notice explains why: a large proportion of eastern mallards, the great majority of black ducks, and many other duck species breeding in eastern North America nest in eastern Canada. Because the banding is intended to produce representative estimates for the flyway, the program relies on multiple banding stations distributed across breeding ranges. Specifically, the annual effort is organized with several banding stations in each province from Ontario eastward, with station placement spread across the birds breeding distribution as much as possible to avoid geographic bias and to better reflect the true composition of the breeding population.
For administrative and technical questions, the listed contact is Paul Padding, Atlantic Flyway Representative, reachable by phone at 301-497-5851.
