Opportunity Summary:
The Swan Lake Gillnetting grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number F14AS00319) is a discretionary grant announced by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to support targeted fisheries management work on Swan Lake in Montana. The project focuses on reducing lake trout numbers through scheduled gillnetting efforts, with the broader intent of supporting conservation outcomes tied to the Endangered Species program and Candidate Conservation Action Funds (CFDA 15.660). The funding notice is presented as a Notice of Intent to make a single-source award to Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks, meaning it is not a broadly competitive solicitation. Instead, it is issued under Department of the Interior policy (DM 2.14 B) as a continuation-type action, with the agency indicating its intent to fund a specific partner for this work.
The scope of work is straightforward and operational. Each year, the recipient is expected to conduct three weeks of gillnetting in August aimed at removing juvenile lake trout, followed by two weeks of gillnetting in October focused on removing spawning lake trout. The seasonal split is designed to target different life stages and behaviors: late-summer work concentrates on younger fish, while the fall effort concentrates on adults during spawning activity, when they can be more effectively intercepted. In addition to field removal work, the recipient must produce an annual report summarizing project activities and results, which typically would include effort levels, catch numbers, biological observations, and any relevant monitoring or management takeaways.
Financially, the opportunity lists an estimated total funding amount of $40,000, with an award ceiling of $40,000 and an award floor of $20,000. No cost sharing or matching funds are required. The notice anticipated up to two awards, but eligibility is effectively limited by the single-source intent statement to Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks as the identified recipient. The opportunity was posted on July 18, 2014, with an original and current closing date of July 25, 2014, and it was archived on August 18, 2014, reflecting a short public notice period consistent with a noncompetitive intent-to-award announcement.
For questions or access issues related to the full announcement, the listed point of contact was Wade Fredenberg at the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (phone 406-758-6872, email wadefredenberg@fws.gov).
