Opportunity Information: Apply for F12AS00255
The US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) is planning to issue a single-source Cooperative Agreement to the North Slope Borough in Alaska to tackle walrus health and mortality issues. This decision is not open for proposals, and the award will be made 15 days following this notice.
The main aim of the agreement is to provide both funding and technical support to the Borough for monitoring and investigating diseases and deaths among marine mammals along Alaska's coast, enhancing communication with subsistence users and resource managers. It also seeks to improve understanding of walrus mortality rates and enhance response capabilities during marine mammal mortality events, in accordance with the Marine Mammal Protection Act.
Key objectives include:
1. Creating a network for reporting sick or dead walruses. 2. Coordinating field operations to examine and sample walrus carcasses. 3. Analyzing tissue samples to understand health issues affecting walruses. 4. Reporting findings to subsistence users and resource managers.
USFWS plans substantial involvement, offering technical assistance, maintaining data, and collaborating on priorities for monitoring efforts. Reasons for the exclusive agreement include a direct request from the Borough for funding to support health assessments, the urgent need to investigate recent unusual mortality events among Arctic pinnipeds, and the unique qualifications of the Borough to lead this initiative due to its experience and community ties.
The Borough's Department of Wildlife Management has extensive expertise in marine mammal projects and has already been involved in mortality assessments for seals and walruses, making it well-positioned to address the current health concerns.Apply for F12AS00255
