The USGS is offering a grant to CESU partners to conduct research on the movement patterns of wading birds in coastal ecosystems affected by upstream freshwater restoration in the South Florida region. This grant aims to understand how the Little Blue Heron, a state-listed species, may adapt to changing conditions by modifying its habitat selection, movement patterns, or foraging strategies in response to environmental changes. The research will contribute towards Greater Everglades restoration efforts and provide valuable insights for decision-making processes. Application deadline: July 26, 2019.

| Description: | The USGS is offering a funding opportunity to a CESU partner for research in movement patterns of wading birds in coastal ecosystems impacted by upstream freshwater restoration. The USGS Greater Everglades Priority Ecosystems Science (Davie, FL) and Wetland and Aquatic Research Center (Gainesville, FL) is offering a funding opportunity for research and technical assistance relevant to: Movement patterns of wading birds as a mechanism linking freshwater wetlands and coastal ecosystems in the Greater Everglades. The USGS conducts ecological and hydrologic research and monitoring in support of Greater Everglades restoration efforts throughout South Florida, in conjunction with its Federal, State, and local partners. Research conducted by USGS scientists and their research partners advances the understanding of the Greater Everglades restoration and the potential influence of environmental change and sea level rise on ecosystem restoration. USGS¿s research provides valuable information which contributes to decision-making during restoration. The USGS is offering a this opportunity to CESU partners with the capability to use cutting-edge monitoring and modeling tools to explore how a state-listed species, the Little Blue Heron, that utilizes coastal habitats undergoing increasing degradation through environmental change may adapt to changing conditions by, for example, selecting for alternate habitats, changing movement patterns, or employing alternative foraging strategies. |
