Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, titled "CESU Colorado State University Tracking Brown Trout and Lake Trout Predation on Kokanee," was a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary funding announcement issued as a cooperative agreement under a natural resources activity category. The project focuses on Blue Mesa Reservoir, a well-known Colorado fishery that historically supported an exceptional kokanee salmon population and has also produced multiple state-record lake trout since 1998. Despite its strong reputation, the kokanee fishery has been declining since the mid-1990s, prompting the need for targeted research to understand what is driving the downturn and what management actions could reverse it.
The core purpose of the study is to track and evaluate predation on kokanee salmon by two key predator species in the reservoir: brown trout and lake trout. By investigating how, when, and to what extent these predators are consuming kokanee, the project is meant to generate practical findings that fisheries managers can use to identify strategies to restore or stabilize the kokanee fishery. The expected outcome is management-relevant information that can translate into on-the-ground actions benefiting anglers and supporting the local economy that depends on recreational fishing and related tourism.
Administratively, the opportunity was limited to public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, aligning with the CESU context and indicating a university-led research approach. The announcement anticipated a single award with an estimated total funding amount of $20,000, which also served as the award ceiling. There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement. The opportunity was posted on May 17, 2010, and had a very short application window, with the closing date listed as May 21, 2010. The opportunity was later archived on June 20, 2010. The funding opportunity number was NPS WASO NOI 2380104502, and the CFDA number was listed as 00.000 (Not Elsewhere Classified), reflecting a general classification rather than a standard program listing.
