Opportunity Information: Apply for F17AS00310
The Mid Klamath River Fall Chinook Spawner Survey (Funding Opportunity Number F17AS00310) is a discretionary grant opportunity released by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Fish and Wildlife Service under CFDA 15.608, focused on natural resource monitoring. The purpose of the award is to fund a one-year field survey designed to estimate the in-river run size, also referred to as escapement, of fall Chinook salmon in key tributaries of the Middle Klamath River system. In practical terms, the project is intended to document how many adult Chinook successfully return to freshwater and remain in the river system to spawn, which is a core metric used in fisheries management and conservation planning.
The work scope centers on the 2017 fall season, specifically October through December 2017, and targets the Shasta River, Scott River, and Salmon River basins, along with other major tributaries feeding into the Middle Klamath River. By surveying these tributaries during the spawning period, the project aims to generate a seasonal estimate of Chinook presence and spawning activity within these watersheds. Results from this type of monitoring typically support decisions about population status, trends over time, and the effectiveness of habitat and management actions in tributary systems that contribute to the broader Klamath Basin salmon runs.
Financially, the award has a ceiling of $28,113 and is structured as a grant, with an expectation of a single award. While the eligibility category is listed broadly as "Others" with additional eligibility details referenced in the original posting, this specific notice is explicitly marked as a Notice of Intent and states that the opportunity has already been awarded to the Mid Klamath Watershed Council. The posting was created on July 12, 2017, and the listed closing date reflects that it was not a competitive open solicitation at the time of posting because the award decision had already been made.
Overall, this grant opportunity is best understood as targeted support for a short-duration, season-specific spawner survey effort in the Middle Klamath tributaries. The deliverable implied by the description is a data-backed escapement estimate for fall Chinook salmon across the named basins during the 2017 spawning window, providing a snapshot of in-river run size that can be used for ongoing resource management and conservation work in the region.Apply for F17AS00310
