The Cooperative Ecosystems Studies Unit within the US Geological Survey is providing a grant through the National Climate Change and Wildlife Science Center for research in developing strategies to assess inland fisheries globally and predict their response to regional climate change. The grant aims to develop tools and models to improve understanding of inland fisheries status, drivers, and production predictions, while integrating climate projections. Applicants will collaborate on incorporating new remote sensing approaches into fisheries research to address existing knowledge gaps and improve future fisheries management worldwide. Application deadline: July 21, 2011.

| Agency Name:: | Geological Survey |
| Description:: | The US Geological Survey (USGS), National Climate Change and Wildlife Science Center (NCCWSC), is offering a funding opportunity for research to develop new strategies for the global assessment of inland fisheries and predicting the response of inland fisheries to regional climate change. The objective of this Agreement is to facilitate collaboration on the development and incorporation of new approaches to remotely sensing inland fisheries production and develop strategies to incorporate climate projections into predictions of future changes. The project has the following specific goals:
Develop tools to narrow existing knowledge gaps on the status and key drivers of inland fisheries. Provide models that provide potentially less biased estimates of fish production as well as some key variables that could predict fish production. Develop global models that can be applied to areas of the world where remotely sensed drivers of fish productivity can be estimated, but unbiased estimates of fisheries harvest or production have been unavailable. |
