Opportunity Summary:
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is offering a discretionary cooperative agreement opportunity focused on on-the-ground recovery work for the Western snowy plover along the Oregon coast, centered on the Coos Bay District. The project is designed to continue and strengthen recovery actions laid out in two key guiding documents: the Western Snowy Plover Recovery Plan (U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, 2007) and the Oregon Conservation Program for the Western Snowy Plover (Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife, 1994). A major theme of the work is not only carrying out established recovery tasks, but also evaluating how predator control efforts are affecting reproductive success, so that management decisions can be based on measured outcomes rather than assumptions.
The core field work is intensive and season-long. The recipient would conduct daily monitoring to track snowy plover abundance and distribution along the Oregon coast, with special attention to locating nests and documenting breeding activity. Once nests are found, the project calls for installing predator exclosures when needed to reduce losses from predation, while also considering risks from human disturbance. Staff would determine nesting success by following nests through the season, recording outcomes such as hatching or failure. After hatching, the work continues with brood monitoring to track chick movements, survival, and fledging success, which are critical metrics for understanding whether the population is actually benefiting from management actions.
The opportunity also emphasizes practical coordination with land and wildlife managers to reduce disturbance in active breeding areas. The project includes helping federal and state agencies with temporary protective measures such as signs and roped-off areas, when requested, to guide beach users away from seasonally closed habitat. Another operational component is real-time communication with predator management personnel: field staff are expected to alert them to active breeding locations and observed predator activity so predator management can be better timed and targeted. Finally, as time allows during the field season, the project supports outreach and information-sharing with partner organizations and the public, helping explain closures, management actions, and the status of the birds.
Funding for the award is estimated at $156,000 total, with an award ceiling of $156,000 and a nominal award floor of $1, and BLM expects to make one award. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement. The eligible applicants are limited to public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, reflecting the cooperative research-and-management nature of the project and the expectation that the work will be conducted with strong scientific and field capacity. The opportunity falls under CFDA 15.231 (Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management) and is administered by the Bureau of Land Management. The announcement was posted on August 23, 2010, with an original and current closing date of September 3, 2010, and it was later archived on August 23, 2011. For access issues or administrative questions, the posted contact is Walter Ullrey, Grants Specialist, at 503-808-6230 or wullrey@blm.gov.

What species and location does the project focus on?
The project focuses on the Western snowy plover along the Oregon coast, with work centered on the BLM Coos Bay District.
What is the main goal of the project?
The project is intended to continue and strengthen established recovery actions for the Western snowy plover and to evaluate how predator control efforts affect reproductive success, so management decisions can be based on measured outcomes.
Which recovery documents guide the work?
The work is guided by two key documents: the Western Snowy Plover Recovery Plan (U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, 2007) and the Oregon Conservation Program for the Western Snowy Plover (Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife, 1994).
What kind of fieldwork is expected?
The core work is intensive and season-long. It includes daily monitoring to track snowy plover abundance and distribution, locating nests, and documenting breeding activity throughout the season.
How are nests handled once they are found?
Once nests are located, staff are expected to install predator exclosures when needed to reduce losses from predation, while also considering risks related to human disturbance.
How is nesting success measured?
Nesting success is determined by following nests through the season and recording outcomes such as hatching or failure.
Does the work continue after chicks hatch?
Yes. The project includes brood monitoring to track chick movements, survival, and fledging success. These metrics are used to evaluate whether the population is benefiting from management actions.
Is coordination with land and wildlife managers part of the project?
Yes. The opportunity emphasizes practical coordination to reduce disturbance in active breeding areas and to support protective measures during the breeding season.
What protective measures might the project help implement?
When requested, the project supports temporary protective measures such as signs and roped-off areas to guide beach users away from seasonally closed habitat.
How does the project interact with predator management efforts?
Field staff are expected to communicate in real time with predator management personnel by alerting them to active breeding locations and observed predator activity so predator management can be better timed and targeted.
Is outreach to the public or partners included?
Yes. As time allows during the field season, the project supports outreach and information-sharing with partner organizations and the public to help explain closures, management actions, and the status of the birds.
What is the estimated funding amount?
The estimated total funding is $156,000.
What is the award ceiling?
