Opportunity Summary:
The Fish and Wildlife Service funding opportunity titled "Regulate Shorebird Hunting in the Caribbean and South America" (Funding Opportunity Number F14AS00361; CFDA 15.663) was posted as an intent to award a single discretionary grant focused on migratory shorebird conservation in the Caribbean Sea region and northern South America. The main purpose of the award is to provide financial assistance to better understand how shorebirds are harvested (including the policies that govern hunting), evaluate whether current harvest levels are sustainable, and develop practical mitigation measures that can reduce shorebird mortality across multiple jurisdictions where hunting occurs.
A central strategy described in the announcement is the use of "shooting free reserves" located in or near areas where shorebird harvest is occurring. These reserves are intended to function as safe refuges that give migratory shorebirds alternative places to feed and rest without hunting pressure, which can directly reduce deaths and improve survival during migration. The opportunity highlights a key operational problem for these refugia: preventing flooding of the feeding tray areas. Flooding can make the refuges far less useful or essentially unusable for shorebirds, and addressing this risk is presented as the greatest ongoing challenge and the largest cost driver.
The grant is designed to support the day-to-day work required to keep these refugia functioning. The announcement states that current management is labor-intensive and requires extensive yearly maintenance and monitoring. Funds are therefore intended to cover salaries for staff who maintain the refugia, as well as equipment rental needed for maintenance and improvements that help keep the sites effective (including measures to address flooding issues).
Administratively, the opportunity was categorized under Science and Technology and other Research and Development, with the grant instrument type identified as a grant. It anticipated one award with a total estimated funding amount of $88,380, and both the award ceiling and floor were listed as exactly $88,380, indicating a fixed-size planned award. There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement. Eligibility was limited to nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education). The posting date and creation date were July 31, 2014, with an original and current closing date of August 5, 2014, and an archive date of August 11, 2014. For access issues or questions, the contact listed was Annelee Motta (413-253-8539; anneleemotta@fws.gov), and an additional information link was provided through Grants.gov.
