Opportunity Summary:
The Lathrop Bayou Land and Species Protection opportunity is a Department of the Interior discretionary funding action built around a cooperative agreement to support on-the-ground conservation work at Lathrop Bayou in Bay County, Florida. The core purpose is to strengthen coordination across a mix of public and private lands so partners can jointly manage habitat, conserve resources, and promote the recovery of federally listed species. In practical terms, the project is meant to translate collaboration into measurable habitat improvements, with an emphasis on actions that protect species covered under the Endangered Species Act and improve overall habitat quality in and around the Lathrop Bayou area.
This announcement (Funding Opportunity Number ES NOI 09 1558; CFDA 15.238) was posted on August 26, 2009, with an application closing date of September 9, 2009, and later archived on December 31, 2009. The federal government listed an estimated total funding amount of $100,000 for the effort, although the number of expected awards was not provided. Because the instrument is a cooperative agreement, it signals an arrangement where the agency anticipates being substantially involved during the project, rather than simply issuing a grant and stepping back. That typically means ongoing coordination, shared planning, and active federal participation in implementing and tracking conservation outcomes.
Eligibility is presented in a limited way because the notice is effectively a Notice of Intent to award. The listing indicates the agency intended to make an award to The St. Joe Company, and the eligible applicant category is shown as "Others," with a note to consult the full eligibility language in the complete announcement for clarification. The opportunity explicitly states there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants were not required to provide non-federal matching funds as a condition of award.
Applicants or interested parties needing help accessing the full announcement were directed to contact the Grants Management Officer, Velvette Clayton, at vclayton@blm.gov. The official listing also points readers to Grants.gov for the additional information link and the complete announcement materials. Overall, the opportunity is best understood as a targeted, place-based conservation partnership aimed at coordinating land and species protection activities across ownership boundaries at Lathrop Bayou to improve habitat conditions and support recovery goals for federally listed species.
