Opportunity Summary:
This discretionary funding opportunity, offered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) as a cooperative agreement, supports a targeted conservation effort focused on the critically endangered marsh sandwort (Arenaria paludicola) at Golden Gate National Recreation Area in San Francisco, California. The central goal is to re-establish a population of this plant near its historical San Francisco location while also generating practical, on-the-ground data that can guide the best methods for reintroducing the species across its former range. In other words, the work is both an immediate recovery action (putting plants back into suitable habitat) and a learning project meant to improve future reintroduction strategies.
The planned project work involves moving plant material from existing safeguarded stock into propagation and restoration pipelines. Up to 2,500 Arenaria paludicola plants may be harvested from a facility in Los Osos, California, transported to propagation facilities, and then reintroduced (outplanted) into Golden Gate National Recreation Area. Alongside the physical reintroduction work, the project includes monitoring and data collection to measure how well transplanted propagules establish and survive. The effort also calls for maintaining a subset of propagules, up to about 1,500, at multiple sites throughout the project period, which helps preserve plant material, manage risk, and support ongoing outplanting and evaluation.
The Golden Gate National Parks Conservancy is the identified participant for this specific notice of intent. Their role is defined in two main responsibilities. First, they will temporarily maintain roughly 1,500 existing plants that were transferred from San Luis Obispo County for a short holding period of about 4 to 12 weeks. Second, they will maintain propagules representing the 11 known genotypes of Arenaria paludicola in San Francisco-based facilities for the duration of the project. This emphasis on maintaining multiple genotypes highlights the project’s genetic conservation angle, aiming to preserve and propagate the species’ remaining genetic diversity while restoration trials are underway.
Administratively, the opportunity is listed under Funding Opportunity Number FWSVENTURA-1110 and CFDA (now commonly referred to as assistance listing) 15.650, Research Grants (Generic). The total estimated funding is $3,000, with an award ceiling of $3,000 and no cost-sharing or matching requirement. Only one award is expected. The opportunity was posted and created on July 27, 2011, with an original and current closing date of August 10, 2011, and it was archived on September 9, 2011. Eligibility is effectively constrained by the notice indicating the Golden Gate National Parks Conservancy as the intended applicant. The agency contact listed is Mark A. Elvin, Project Manager, reachable at 805-644-1766 ext 258 or markelvin@fws.gov.

What species does the project focus on?
The project focuses on the marsh sandwort (Arenaria paludicola), described in the notice as critically endangered.
Where will the project take place?
The reintroduction and restoration work will take place at Golden Gate National Recreation Area in San Francisco, California. Plant material is also referenced as originating from a facility in Los Osos, California, and transfers are noted from San Luis Obispo County.
What is the main goal of the project?
The central goal is to re-establish a population of marsh sandwort near its historical San Francisco location and to generate practical, on-the-ground data to guide the best methods for reintroducing the species across its former range.
Is this project only about planting, or does it include research and learning components?
It includes both. The work is described as an immediate recovery action (putting plants back into suitable habitat) and a learning project intended to improve future reintroduction strategies by collecting and evaluating establishment and survival data.
What activities are planned under the project?
Planned activities include harvesting plant material from safeguarded stock, transporting it to propagation facilities, reintroducing (outplanting) plants into Golden Gate National Recreation Area, and monitoring and data collection to evaluate how well transplanted propagules establish and survive.
How many plants may be harvested and reintroduced?
Up to 2,500 Arenaria paludicola plants may be harvested from a facility in Los Osos, California, moved through propagation and restoration pipelines, and then reintroduced (outplanted) into Golden Gate National Recreation Area.
What does the opportunity say about maintaining a subset of plants or propagules?
The project calls for maintaining a subset of propagules, up to about 1,500, at multiple sites throughout the project period. This is described as helping preserve plant material, manage risk, and support ongoing outplanting and evaluation.
Who is the identified participant (intended applicant) for this notice of intent?
The Golden Gate National Parks Conservancy is identified as the participant for this specific notice of intent, and eligibility is effectively constrained by that designation.
