Opportunity Summary:
The BLM CA Mattole River Recovery Rearing Project (Funding Opportunity Number L11AS00117) was a discretionary grant opportunity from the Bureau of Land Management focused on natural resources work in the Mattole River watershed in California. The intent of the award was to support a cooperative effort to establish and operate a fish recovery rearing facility as part of an endangered species recovery program. In practical terms, the project centered on creating or improving a facility capable of rearing fish for conservation purposes, then carrying out the hands-on operational work needed to make a rearing program function from start to finish.
The scope of work emphasized collaboration across multiple partners in the watershed, including federal and state entities as well as nonprofit organizations already involved in Mattole River fish and habitat recovery efforts. The funded partner would assist with the facility creation or modification (such as helping set up, upgrade, or adjust infrastructure needed for rearing), and also support core fish recovery operations. Those operational tasks were described broadly and included capturing target fish for the program, transporting fish safely, conducting the rearing process at the facility, and ultimately releasing fish back into appropriate habitats. The overall objective was to contribute to endangered species recovery by increasing survival and supporting population rebuilding through carefully managed rearing and release activities.
A major component of the opportunity was monitoring and evaluation in the Mattole River watershed. The announcement called for developing, designing, and implementing fish monitoring projects to both locate or detect target fish populations suitable for rearing and to assess whether the rearing effort was working as intended. This implies field monitoring to identify candidate stocks or life stages for collection, along with follow-up monitoring to evaluate outcomes such as post-release survival, distribution, or other indicators tied to effectiveness. In other words, the grant was not only about running a rearing facility, but also about building an evidence-based program where monitoring data informs decisions and helps measure conservation results.
Administratively, the funding instrument was a Cooperative Agreement, meaning the Bureau of Land Management expected to be actively involved in the project rather than simply issuing a hands-off grant. The opportunity anticipated a single award with an estimated total funding amount of $700,000, with an award ceiling of $700,000 and an award floor of $1,000. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement listed. Eligible applicants were limited to state governments, and the program was associated with CFDA number 15.231 (Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management). The announcement was posted on June 8, 2011, with a closing date of June 29, 2011, and it was archived on July 30, 2011. For access issues or questions, the listed contact was Leona B. Parker (Grants Management Officer) at 530-252-5338 and lparker@blm.gov, with additional information historically available through Grants.gov.
