Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, titled "fish benthic survey with apra harbor" (Funding Opportunity Number FWSPIE2), was a discretionary funding announcement from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) to support marine resource monitoring work in Apra Harbor, Guam. The core purpose of the award was to carry out marine fish surveys and benthic surveys in Apra Harbor under an existing cooperative service agreement, referenced as MIPR No. N00052 09 MP 001VX. In practical terms, the project was meant to document and assess the condition of fish communities and seafloor habitats (the benthic environment, such as corals, algae, seagrass, and other bottom-dwelling organisms) within the harbor, likely to inform management decisions and track environmental conditions in an area with significant ecological and operational importance.
The funding mechanism was a Cooperative Agreement, which typically indicates that the federal agency expected to have substantial involvement in the project beyond simply issuing funds (for example, coordination on survey design, data standards, reporting requirements, or integration with other federal monitoring efforts). The activity category was listed as Environment, and the related CFDA program was 15.608, Fish and Wildlife Management Assistance, a program commonly used to support technical assistance and on-the-ground conservation or monitoring work.
The announcement anticipated a single award, with an estimated total funding amount of $65,000. The award ceiling was also $65,000, meaning the opportunity was effectively structured as one project funded up to that amount, while the award floor was $0. No cost sharing or matching requirement was specified, so the applicant was not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award.
Eligibility was limited to state governments, and the statement of eligibility specifically identified the Guam Division of Aquatic and Wildlife Resources as the eligible entity, indicating this was essentially a targeted or sole-eligible applicant opportunity rather than a broadly competed grant. The posting and creation date were December 15, 2008, with an original and current closing date of December 29, 2008. The opportunity was later archived on January 28, 2009, which signals it was a time-limited announcement tied to a specific near-term project need.
For coordination and questions, the listed point of contact was Dwayne Minton at the Pacific Islands Fish and Wildlife Office, located at 300 Ala Moana Blvd., Room 3-122, Box 50088, Honolulu, HI 96850, with telephone number 808-792-9445 and fax 808-792-9581. If an applicant had trouble accessing the full announcement electronically, the notice directed them to contact Ken Sato, a grants assistant, at 808-792-9453.
