Opportunity Summary:
The DOI Project 37 Hurricane Sandy Restoring Coastal Marshes in NJ Reeds Beach Cape May NWR opportunity is a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) cooperative agreement funded through Hurricane Sandy disaster relief appropriations. It was published on Grants.gov primarily as a notice that the Department of the Interior planned to issue a single-source financial assistance award to the American Littoral Society, rather than as a competitive, open call for proposals. The project is tied to DOI Project Number EBFCM 37 and was already reviewed, vetted, and approved for funding by the Department of the Interior before this public posting.
The purpose of the award is to restore and strengthen the health and resilience of salt marsh habitat at Reeds Beach in the Bidwells Creek Watershed, located in Middle Township, Cape May County, New Jersey, within the broader Cape May National Wildlife Refuge context. This marsh is described as an important component of the Delaware Bay estuary system, and the work is framed around addressing marsh vulnerability, particularly risks associated with sea level rise and storm impacts that were highlighted by Hurricane Sandy.
The project scope begins with a detailed, science-driven assessment phase to understand existing site conditions and determine the best restoration approach. That early work includes evaluating salt marsh habitat conditions, drainage patterns and hydrology (flows), sediment characteristics, wetland condition assessments, and topographic surveys along with modeling. A central question in this feasibility work is whether dredged material can be beneficially reused to increase marsh elevation in areas that are low-lying and threatened by sea level rise, which is a common resilience strategy where suitable sediments and permitting conditions allow.
After the assessment phase, the project is intended to move directly into implementation steps, including design and permitting, followed by placing dredged sediment on targeted portions of the marsh to raise elevations. The overall expected outcomes are improved ecosystem function, greater salt marsh resilience to sea level rise, and enhanced fish and wildlife habitat. The opportunity also emphasizes collaborative restoration in Hurricane Sandy disaster areas, with an intent to support projects developed with local communities and partners and to rebuild or protect federal public assets such as national wildlife refuges while increasing the capacity of coastal habitats and related infrastructure to better withstand future storms and reduce damage.
Funding for the award comes from the Hurricane Sandy Disaster Relief Supplemental Appropriation Act of 2013 (Public Law 113-2), and the listing is associated with CFDA 15.677 (Hurricane Sandy Disaster Relief Activities FWS). The total funding amount is $1,900,000, with an award floor and ceiling both set at $1,900,000, reflecting the single expected award. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement stated. The posting date and creation date are October 1, 2014, with an original and current closing date of October 31, 2014, and an archive date of November 20, 2014. The funding opportunity number is F15AS00003.
