Opportunity Summary:
The BLM OR/WA Lobster Creek Smolt Monitoring grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L10AS00288) is a Bureau of Land Management discretionary funding program offered through a cooperative agreement to support fisheries monitoring work in western Oregon. The project focuses on Oregon Coast coho salmon in the Alsea watershed, specifically in East Fork Lobster Creek and the mainstem of Lobster Creek. The core purpose is to generate consistent, scientifically credible monitoring data that state and federal resource managers can use to understand population trends and make management decisions.
The monitoring work described centers on key life-stage and population metrics for coho salmon. It includes measuring smolt production (the number of juvenile coho leaving freshwater for the ocean), estimating overwinter survival (how many juveniles survive through the winter period), tracking adult returns (how many mature fish come back to spawn), and assessing summer juvenile abundance (how many young fish are present during the summer rearing season). Taken together, these data points help build a clearer picture of coho productivity and survival across seasons and years, which is essential for evaluating the status of populations on the Oregon Coast.
Administratively, this opportunity falls under the Natural Resources activity category and is associated with CFDA 15.231, Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management. The announcement listed an expectation of one award. The total estimated funding amount was $75,000, with an award ceiling of $15,000 and an award floor of $1. Cost sharing or matching was not required, and eligibility was listed as unrestricted, meaning it was open to a wide range of applicant types unless otherwise limited by additional eligibility language in the full announcement.
The opportunity was posted and created on August 16, 2010, with an original and current closing date of August 31, 2010, and it was archived on August 16, 2011. Applicants were directed to Grants.gov for the full announcement details. For access issues or questions related to the announcement, the listed contact was Walter Ullrey at the Bureau of Land Management, reachable by phone at 503-808-6230 or by email at wullrey@blm.gov.
