Opportunity Summary:
Fish Distribution and Habitat Use Delineation within the Boundary of the Glennallen Field Office, Alaska is a discretionary grant opportunity from the Department of the Interior focused on natural resource management and fisheries conservation on public lands managed within the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Glennallen Field Office area in Alaska. The core purpose of the project is to generate practical, field-based information on where two high-value fish species occur throughout the year and what habitats they rely on during different seasons, so that land and water management decisions can better protect the most important areas at the times they matter most.
The project has two main scientific objectives. First, it aims to determine seasonal distribution and habitat use for Arctic grayling in the upper Delta River and for steelhead in the Gulkana River. The approach described is to implant radio transmitters in fish and then track their movements over time, which allows biologists to map how individuals use river corridors, identify migration timing, and locate key holding, feeding, spawning, or overwintering areas depending on the species and season. Second, the project seeks to estimate the relative abundance of the sampled populations, meaning the work will also include field sampling designed to provide an index or comparative measure of how many fish are present in the study areas, rather than only movement patterns for a handful of tagged individuals.
A required deliverable at the end of the effort is a stock report that summarizes the collected data and interprets it in a way that can be used for management. The intended management value of that report is explicit: it should provide the information necessary to ensure protection of seasonally important habitat for Arctic grayling and steelhead. In practical terms, this kind of information can support decisions such as when and where to limit or modify activities that could affect fish (for example, timing restrictions, habitat protection measures, or planning considerations for projects near waterways), because it identifies sensitive reaches and critical seasonal use areas rather than treating the rivers as uniform habitat.
Administratively, this opportunity is a grant (FundingInstrumentType: Grant) categorized under Natural Resources, with one expected award. The estimated total funding amount is $100,000, with an award floor of $31,000, and there is no cost sharing or matching requirement. Eligibility is limited to state governments, indicating the program is structured for state-level fish and wildlife or natural resource agencies (or similar state entities) to apply and carry out the work. The opportunity is listed under CFDA 15.238 and was posted on July 6, 2009, with an application closing date of July 17, 2009, and an archive date of August 30, 2009. The listing references grants.gov for additional information, and the contact provided for access issues is Sandra S. Smith at s2smith@blm.gov.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is the name of this grant opportunity?
The opportunity is titled Fish Distribution and Habitat Use Delineation within the Boundary of the Glennallen Field Office, Alaska.
Which federal agency is offering this grant?
This is a discretionary grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of the Interior, focused on public lands managed within the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Glennallen Field Office area in Alaska.
What is the overall purpose of the project?
The core purpose is to produce practical, field-based information on where two high-value fish species occur throughout the year and what habitats they rely on during different seasons, so land and water management decisions can better protect the most important areas at the times they matter most.
What category or focus area does this grant fall under?
The opportunity is categorized under Natural Resources, with emphasis on natural resource management and fisheries conservation on public lands.
Which fish species are the focus of the study?
The project focuses on two species: Arctic grayling and steelhead.
Where will the fish work take place?
The work is within the boundary of the BLM Glennallen Field Office area in Alaska, specifically targeting the upper Delta River (Arctic grayling) and the Gulkana River (steelhead).
What are the two main scientific objectives?
The project has two main scientific objectives:
- Determine seasonal distribution and habitat use for Arctic grayling in the upper Delta River and for steelhead in the Gulkana River.
- Estimate the relative abundance of the sampled populations (an index or comparative measure of how many fish are present in the study areas).
What methods are described for tracking fish movements?
The approach described is to implant radio transmitters in fish and then track their movements over time. This allows biologists to map river use, identify migration timing, and locate important areas used for holding, feeding, spawning, or overwintering depending on species and season.
Does the project only track fish movements, or does it also address population size?
It addresses both. In addition to movement tracking of tagged individuals, the work includes field sampling intended to estimate relative abundance of the sampled populations.
What is meant by "relative abundance" in this opportunity?
Relative abundance is described as an index or comparative measure of how many fish are present in the study areas, rather than only documenting movement patterns for a limited number of tagged fish.
What deliverable is required at the end of the project?
A required deliverable is a stock report that summarizes the collected data and interprets it for management use.
What is the intended management value of the stock report?
The report is intended to provide information necessary to ensure protection of seasonally important habitat for Arctic grayling and steelhead. It supports management decisions by identifying sensitive river reaches and critical seasonal use areas.
How might the results be used in land and water management decisions?
The results can support decisions such as when and where to limit or modify activities that could affect fish. The description specifically notes examples like timing restrictions, habitat protection measures, or planning considerations for projects near waterways.
