Opportunity Summary:
The Notice of Intent to Award titled "Creel Survey for St. Clair-Detroit Rivers" (Funding Opportunity Number USGS FA 16 0067) is a discretionary funding opportunity issued by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) within the Department of the Interior. The opportunity is structured as a cooperative agreement, which typically means the USGS expects to have substantial involvement with the recipient during the project rather than simply providing funds with minimal federal participation. The work falls under the "Science and Technology and other Research and Development" activity category and is associated with CFDA number 15.808.
The project focus is a creel survey on the St. Clair-Detroit River system. In fisheries management, a creel survey is a standardized method for collecting information about recreational fishing effort and catch, often through on-site interviews with anglers, observation counts, and related sampling approaches. Results from creel surveys are commonly used to estimate metrics such as the number of anglers using a fishery, total fishing effort (for example, angler-hours), species harvested or released, catch per unit effort, and overall harvest and catch rates. Applied to the St. Clair and Detroit Rivers, the intent is to generate data that can inform fisheries assessment and management decisions for these connected Great Lakes waterways.
Eligibility is limited to state governments, indicating the award is intended for a state-level agency or similar state entity to carry out the survey work. The notice anticipates a single award (Expected Awards: 1) with a maximum federal funding amount (Award Ceiling) of $30,000. The posting date is March 10, 2016, and both the original and current closing dates are March 24, 2016, showing a short application window typical of a targeted or pre-identified award action. Overall, this notice signals the USGS intention to fund one state government partner to conduct a creel survey effort on the St. Clair-Detroit Rivers under a cooperative agreement framework, with the goal of producing fisheries-use and catch information that supports research and management needs.
