Opportunity Summary:
The Hurricane Sandy Disaster Relief, Proj 67 Restoration on Fire Island National Seashore, NY grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number F14AS00323) was a 2014 discretionary funding opportunity offered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service under CFDA 15.677 (Hurricane Sandy Disaster Relief Activities). It was structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning the federal agency expected to have substantial involvement in the work rather than simply issuing a hands-off grant. The program did not require cost sharing or matching funds. The opportunity anticipated a single award with total funding of $338,021, and both the award floor and ceiling were set at exactly $338,021, indicating a fixed-size project rather than a range of possible award amounts.
The purpose of the funding was to support Department of the Interior bureau efforts to collaborate with local and regional partners on coastal restoration and resiliency in the wake of Hurricane Sandy. The project was framed to advance the goals of the North Atlantic Landscape Conservation Cooperative by bringing together existing datasets, models, and decision-support tools with foundational post-storm data and assessments. In practical terms, the work was meant to help decision-makers determine where beach restoration should occur, how beaches should be managed after the storm, and what conservation actions would best sustain ecological function, wildlife habitat suitability, and key ecosystem services. A specific ecosystem service noted in the announcement is flood abatement, with an emphasis on making restoration and management choices that remain effective under ongoing storm risk and sea level rise.
A central focus of the project was Fire Island and the broader south shore barrier island system chain. The project aimed to develop an ecological coastal resiliency framework for a substantial portion of Fire Island habitat, with the expectation that the resulting framework and information would guide restoration and conservation across the barrier island landscape rather than in isolated segments. The announcement highlights benefits to beach-dependent species, especially the federally listed piping plover, by generating information that can inform beach restoration, management, and conservation actions relevant to nesting and habitat conditions along the full barrier island chain.
Another major component was improving understanding of future conditions by contributing to evaluation and prediction of sea level rise impacts and how management decisions may alter piping plover nesting suitability. In other words, the project was not only about documenting Hurricane Sandy impacts and immediate response outcomes, but also about building tools or analyses that help forecast habitat suitability under changing coastal dynamics. The ultimate intent was to support better, more integrated coastal decision-making that balances restoration, wildlife conservation, and resilience benefits across areas affected by Hurricane Sandy.
Administratively, the opportunity was posted on July 21, 2014, with an original and current closing date of July 28, 2014, and it was archived on August 21, 2014. Eligibility was listed as unrestricted (open to any type of entity), subject to any clarifications in the full announcement on Grants.gov. The point of contact provided for access issues was Cheryle Lawrence (cherylelawrence@fws.gov).
