Opportunity Summary:
The BLM OR WA Coos Bay West Fork Smith River Lifecycle Monitoring opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L14AS00161) is a Bureau of Land Management discretionary grant offered as a cooperative agreement under CFDA 15.234 (Secure Rural Schools and Community Self-Determination). The project is centered on natural resources monitoring in Oregon, specifically focused on the West Fork Smith River area tied to the Coos Bay district context. The overall purpose is to support monitoring that helps evaluate how well the Oregon Plan for Salmon and Watersheds is working by producing concrete, field-based data that can be used to track salmonid populations and link those trends to habitat conditions.
The core objective is lifecycle monitoring of coastal anadromous salmonids across multiple life stages. The announcement highlights Chinook salmon, Coho salmon, and Steelhead, with a clear emphasis on Coho. The work is intended to generate data needed to estimate population abundance and identify trends over time, and to calculate or inform both freshwater and marine survival rates. In addition to counting fish or tracking returns, the opportunity emphasizes understanding habitat relationships, meaning the monitoring results should be useful for connecting fish performance (such as survival, productivity, or distribution) with environmental or habitat conditions in the watershed. In practical terms, this kind of lifecycle monitoring typically supports management decisions by showing whether restoration, habitat protection, or watershed actions are improving outcomes for salmon and steelhead.
Funding for the opportunity is listed with an estimated total program amount of $600,000, while the award ceiling for an individual award is $117,619 and the award floor is $1. The Bureau of Land Management expected to make one award. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement stated, which means applicants were not required to provide non-federal match as a condition of eligibility or competitiveness per the basic posting. Eligibility is limited to state governments, so the intended applicant pool is state-level agencies or entities that qualify as state government applicants and can carry out fish and watershed monitoring work consistent with BLM goals and Oregon Plan evaluation needs.
Key dates show the opportunity was posted June 20, 2014 (created June 19, 2014) with an original and final closing date of July 21, 2014, and it was archived June 19, 2015.
