Opportunity Summary:
The "Monitoring and Evaluations" opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number: LSRCP NOI 10 J016) is a Fish and Wildlife Service cooperative agreement tied to the Lower Snake River Compensation Plan (LSRCP). The overall purpose is to measure how well hatchery releases are compensating for losses by tracking adult returns of Chinook salmon and steelhead to hatchery facilities, natural spawning areas, and fisheries. In practical terms, the work is aimed at connecting hatchery production to real-world outcomes: how many fish come back, when they migrate, where they show up in fisheries, and how many are harvested.
A major focus of the project is helping the Idaho Department of Fish and Game (IDFG) evaluate LSRCP program success by improving estimates of adult harvest and migration timing in mainstem Columbia River fisheries. This includes summarizing and estimating catch of adult Chinook salmon and steelhead and determining when different runs move through various fisheries. Those timing and harvest estimates are important because they shape how managers understand stock contributions and can affect in-season and annual decisions about fishing opportunity and conservation measures.
The grant also supports work to estimate the number of hatchery-origin and wild/natural-origin fish returning to the project area in Idaho. This portion emphasizes analyzing the timing and distribution of marked hatchery fish and wild stocks in Idaho recreational fisheries, with the intent of developing annual harvest management plans. The idea is to combine harvest information with hatchery return data so managers can estimate the number of adults returning from LSRCP releases and better understand the balance between hatchery and natural fish in the system.
A third component is technical and data-management heavy: assisting with excising tags from snouts (a common step for retrieving coded-wire tags), reading those tags, and uploading the results to the Regional Mark Information System (RMIS). Beyond simply entering data, the project calls for maintaining tag and return information in a way that is accessible to interested parties, reflecting an expectation for organized records, consistent reporting, and data sharing across agencies and partners.
Administratively, this was posted September 18, 2009, with an original/current closing date of October 2, 2009, and an archive date of November 1, 2009. It is a discretionary award using a cooperative agreement instrument, with one expected award and a total estimated funding amount of $272,111 (matching the award floor and ceiling). There is no cost sharing or matching requirement listed. The CFDA number is 15.661 (Lower Snake River Compensation Plan). Eligibility is effectively targeted: the notice states an intent to award up to $272,111 to the Pacific States Marine Fisheries Commission (PSMFC) under a justification authority, citing PSMFC as uniquely qualified because of its on-the-ground role working within LSRCP facilities in Idaho.
The legal and programmatic basis referenced includes the Water Resources Development Act of 1976 (Public Law 94-587) and the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act (16 U.S.C. 661-666), which authorize and direct the LSRCP office to work with state and federal agencies and tribes to evaluate survival and harvest of released fish associated with the lower Snake River program. For access issues with the announcement, the listed contact was Margaret Anderson, Cooperative Agreements Specialist, at 208-378-5299.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs): Monitoring and Evaluations (LSRCP NOI 10 J016)
What is the “Monitoring and Evaluations†opportunity (LSRCP NOI 10 J016)?
This opportunity is a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) cooperative agreement under the Lower Snake River Compensation Plan (LSRCP). The work centers on monitoring and evaluating whether hatchery releases are compensating for fish losses by tracking adult returns of Chinook salmon and steelhead to hatchery facilities, natural spawning areas, and fisheries.
What is the main purpose of this project?
The overall purpose is to measure how well LSRCP hatchery releases are compensating for losses. Practically, this means linking hatchery production to real-world outcomes: how many fish return as adults, when they migrate, where they show up in fisheries, and how many are harvested.
Which species are specifically mentioned?
The opportunity specifically mentions Chinook salmon and steelhead.
What kinds of outcomes does the project aim to track?
Based on the notice, the project focuses on outcomes such as:
- Adult returns to hatchery facilities
- Adult returns to natural spawning areas
- Adult presence and contribution in fisheries
- Harvest levels (how many fish are caught/kept)
- Migration timing (when different runs move through fisheries)
How does this work support the Idaho Department of Fish and Game (IDFG)?
A major focus is supporting IDFG in evaluating LSRCP program success by improving estimates of adult harvest and migration timing in mainstem Columbia River fisheries. The work includes summarizing and estimating catch of adult Chinook salmon and steelhead and determining when different runs move through various fisheries.
Why are harvest and migration timing estimates important?
The notice explains that timing and harvest estimates shape how managers understand stock contributions and can influence in-season and annual decisions about fishing opportunity and conservation measures.
Does the project include work in Idaho fisheries?
Yes. The grant supports estimating the number of hatchery-origin and wild/natural-origin fish returning to the project area in Idaho, including analysis of timing and distribution of marked hatchery fish and wild stocks in Idaho recreational fisheries.
What is meant by “hatchery-origin†versus “wild/natural-origin†fish in this opportunity?
The opportunity distinguishes between fish produced in hatcheries (hatchery-origin) and fish originating from wild or natural spawning (wild/natural-origin). The project includes estimating returns for both categories in the project area in Idaho.
How will the information be used for management?
The notice indicates the intent is to develop annual harvest management plans by combining harvest information with hatchery return data. This helps managers estimate the number of adults returning from LSRCP releases and understand the balance between hatchery and natural fish in the system.
