Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity "BLM OR/WA National Landscape Conservation System/Yaquina Head Outstanding Natural Area Seabird Study" (Funding Opportunity Number L10AS00271) is a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) cooperative agreement focused on understanding what is driving major changes in seabird breeding success and population trends at Yaquina Head Outstanding Natural Area (YHONA) on the Oregon coast. The core purpose of the project is ecological: it funds applied field research that looks at the mechanisms behind seabird productivity (how successfully birds reproduce) and broader population dynamics (how colony numbers and composition change over time). In practical terms, the recipient is expected to study breeding seabirds at YHONA by examining their reproductive biology, foraging ecology, and demographic patterns, while also assessing how predators, including increasing bald eagle populations, may be affecting nesting outcomes and colony stability.
A defining feature of the project is its management relevance and the requirement for close coordination with on-the-ground partners. The recipient is expected to work directly with YHONA staff and with U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) personnel from the Oregon Coast Refuge Complex, which has jurisdiction over most seabird colonies in Oregon. This partnership structure is meant to connect research results to real-time conservation and management decisions, helping agencies interpret why notable population shifts have occurred and what future changes might be likely. The emphasis is not just on collecting data, but on producing information that can guide resource management across a wider network of seabird colony sites and decision-makers along the Oregon coast.
The opportunity also includes a strong public communication component. Field staff conducting the research are expected to provide weekly updates to BLM and USFWS interpreters at the Yaquina Head lighthouse and to engage with visitors through regular interactions, effectively translating ongoing research into timely, understandable information for the public. This makes the project part scientific study and part interpretive support, using an active field presence to keep both agency staff and visitors informed about seabird conditions, threats, and observed trends during the research period.
Administratively, this is a discretionary natural resources funding opportunity offered as a cooperative agreement, with one expected award. The estimated total funding is $27,000, with an award ceiling of $27,000 and a nominal award floor of $1. No cost share or matching funds are required. Eligibility is listed as unrestricted, meaning it is open to a wide range of applicant types (subject to any clarifications in the full announcement). The opportunity was posted on August 12, 2010, and the application deadline was August 31, 2010, with the listing archived on August 12, 2011. The CFDA program number associated with the funding is 15.231 (Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management). For access issues or questions about the announcement, the contact listed is Walter Ullrey, Agreements Specialist at BLM (503-808-6230, wullrey@blm.gov), with additional information referenced through Grants.gov.
