Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, titled "Gila River Basin Native Fish Conservation Program - Redfield Canyon 4 80" (Funding Opportunity Number 201819J807), is a discretionary cooperative agreement offered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service under CFDA 15.632, "Conservation Grants Private Stewardship for Imperiled Species." It was posted on February 3, 2009, with an application closing date of February 10, 2009, and it anticipated making a single award. Funding is available with an award floor of $23,922 and an award ceiling of $55,748, and there is no cost-sharing or matching requirement stated. Eligibility is limited to nonprofit organizations with IRS-recognized 501(c)(3) status, excluding institutions of higher education.
The core purpose of the project is invasive fish management in Redfield Canyon, specifically an effort to mechanically remove green sunfish, a non-native species that can seriously disrupt native aquatic ecosystems through predation and competition. The work is hands-on and field-based: crews will use electrofishing equipment along with nets to capture green sunfish and remove them from the canyon. The targeted treatment reach is clearly defined as the section of Redfield Canyon extending from the state land boundary at the downstream private property line in Section 31 up to impassable natural barriers located roughly one mile upstream. Those barriers matter because they help isolate the treatment area, improving the chances that removal efforts can succeed without immediate reinvasion from upstream sources.
Implementation is planned as repeated removal events rather than a one-time effort. The project calls for two capture sessions per year, continuing until green sunfish are eradicated from the treated reach. The opportunity also sets expectations for adaptive decision-making over time: if eradication has not been achieved by the end of year three, the CAP Program will reassess whether continued work is likely to succeed as either full eradication or ongoing control, and it may consider funding up to an additional two years of effort depending on the prospects and results.
The work takes place within the Muleshoe Cooperative Management Area (CMA) in southeastern Arizona, a landscape managed through a multi-partner arrangement involving The Nature Conservancy (TNC), the Bureau of Land Management, and the U.S. Forest Service. That cooperative setting implies the project will likely require close coordination around access, scheduling, field protocols, and compliance considerations across different land management jurisdictions, all aimed at supporting broader native fish conservation goals in the Gila River Basin.
