Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number F12AS00046) is a discretionary cooperative agreement offered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), Stockton Office, through the Central Valley Project Improvement Act (CVPI) Anadromous Fish Restoration Program (AFRP) (CFDA 15.648). Its purpose is to continue funding for three senior-level (or equivalent) California Department of Fish and Game (CDFG) biologists to serve as Habitat Restoration Coordinators (HRCs). The intent is not to launch a new restoration program from scratch, but to maintain experienced, dedicated staffing that supports coordinated planning and delivery of habitat restoration actions for anadromous fish consistent with the AFRP Final Restoration Plan.
The funded positions are organized geographically to match AFRP cooperator regions. One HRC is assigned to Region 1, covering the upper mainstem Sacramento River and its tributaries from Keswick Dam south to and including Butte Creek on the east side, and to Colusa Basin Drain on the west side. A second HRC is assigned to Region 2, covering the lower Sacramento River and Delta tributaries from the Feather River south to the Calaveras River, including the Feather, Yuba, American, Cosumnes, and Mokelumne rivers. The third HRC is assigned to Region 4, covering the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta and the mainstem San Joaquin River, including the Merced, Tuolumne, and Stanislaus rivers. Across these areas, the HRCs are expected to function as key on-the-ground coordinators who help align multiple agencies and stakeholders around shared restoration priorities, and who support the development and implementation of habitat restoration projects.
The opportunity anticipates a single award, with total estimated funding of $276,673. The award ceiling and floor are both listed at $276,673, which signals a fixed funding amount for the effort described. Cost sharing or matching is required, and eligibility is limited to state governments, consistent with the role of CDFG staff as the supported coordinators. The original posting date and creation date are January 25, 2012, with an application closing date of February 9, 2012, and an archive date of March 10, 2012.
In practical terms, the work supported by this funding centers on interagency coordination: helping partners identify restoration needs, shape project concepts, move projects through planning and development stages, and implement actions in a way that matches AFRP goals and the Final Restoration Plan. By keeping three regionally focused HRCs in place, the program aims to sustain continuity, technical leadership, and coordination capacity across the Sacramento River system, its tributaries, and the Delta and San Joaquin River areas where anadromous fish restoration efforts are concentrated.
