Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, titled "conduct marine benthic surveys within Apra Harbor," is a discretionary funding announcement from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) focused on environmental work in the Territory of Guam. The core purpose of the award is to support marine benthic surveys inside Apra Harbor under an existing cooperative service agreement identified as MIPR No. N00052 09 MP 001VX. In practical terms, the project is about documenting and assessing the condition of the seafloor environment (the benthic zone), which typically includes mapping and evaluating habitats and organisms associated with the bottom of the harbor such as corals, seagrasses, algae, invertebrates, and substrate types like sand, rubble, or reef structure. These kinds of surveys are commonly used to establish baseline conditions, detect changes over time, and inform conservation, management, and impact assessment decisions in coastal and harbor settings.
The funding instrument is a Cooperative Agreement, which generally signals that FWS expects to have substantial involvement in the work compared to a standard grant. The opportunity lists one expected award with an estimated total funding amount of $65,000, and the award ceiling is also $65,000 (with an award floor of $0). There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient is not required to contribute non-federal funds to receive or execute the project. The CFDA (Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance) number is 15.608, Fish and Wildlife Management Assistance, indicating the program area under which the work is being supported.
Eligibility is limited to state governments, narrowing the applicant pool to governmental entities rather than universities, nonprofits, or private firms. The announcement was posted on December 15, 2008, with an original and current closing date of December 29, 2008, and it was archived on January 28, 2009, so it was a time-limited solicitation that is no longer open.
For project coordination and technical questions, the listed point of contact is Dwayne Minton at the Pacific Islands Fish and Wildlife Office, located at 300 Ala Moana Blvd., Room 3 122, Box 50088, Honolulu, HI 96850, phone 808-792-9445, fax 808-792-9581.
