Opportunity Summary:
The Youth Fish Guide Camp, Alaska grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L11AS00090) is a Bureau of Land Management discretionary funding announcement intended to support a one-week, intensive summer camp focused on fisheries science, ecology, and habitat conservation in the Bristol Bay region of Alaska. The camp is designed to take place along the Nushagak River and would serve a small cohort of approximately 10 to 12 young adults between the ages of 15 and 22. The overall aim is to provide hands-on education and career-relevant skills connected to fisheries stewardship and sustainable recreation in a region where salmon and river ecosystems are central to local livelihoods, culture, and conservation priorities.
The program’s content goes beyond classroom-style learning by combining science-based instruction with practical, on-the-water experience. Participants would learn core concepts in fisheries science and ecology, along with habitat conservation principles relevant to river systems and fish populations. Alongside the scientific and conservation components, the camp also emphasizes workforce and guiding skills by teaching fly fishing techniques and introducing participants to the pathway of becoming sport fish guides. A distinctive feature of the camp is its intent to incorporate traditional knowledge, helping students understand how Indigenous and local perspectives can inform ethical guiding practices, conservation-minded decision-making, and long-term resource care in their future careers.
Funding is offered through a cooperative agreement, meaning the federal agency typically expects to have substantial involvement in the project compared with a standard grant. The announcement anticipated making one award, with an estimated total funding amount of $70,000. The award ceiling was listed at $70,000 and the award floor at $10,000, and there was no cost-sharing or matching requirement. The eligible applicant pool was described as unrestricted, indicating that any entity type could apply as long as it met any additional eligibility conditions contained in the full announcement instructions.
Key administrative details include a posted and creation date of May 6, 2011, with an application deadline (original and current closing date) of May 31, 2011, and an archive date of July 31, 2011. The opportunity falls under CFDA 15.231, Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management, and is categorized under the Natural Resources funding activity area. Applicants were directed to download the full instructions and application package via the announcement’s application materials, and questions about accessing the announcement were routed to the listed grants management contact, Sandee Smith, Grants Management Officer, at 907-271-5193 or s2smith@blm.gov.
