This Bureau of Reclamation grant is for San Francisco State University to develop quantitative life history models of fish population dynamics, focusing on Delta Smelt and at least one other species. The project aims to quantify and predict the effects of water management actions, such as reservoir releases, gate operations, and export pumping, on these fish populations. The principal objectives include developing a specific Delta Smelt life history model and broader multiple species life history models. The cooperative agreement is valued at $277,850.00 and is intended to enhance understanding of aquatic ecosystems. This is a Notice of Intent to Award and not a request for competitive proposals.

| Description: | The Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation) intends to issue a cooperative agreement to San Francisco State University under the authority of catalog for domestic assistance (CFDA) 15.512, Central Valley Project Improvement Act, Public Law 102-575, Section 3406(b)(1) and 3407(e). Estimated total amount of agreement is $277,850.00. The purpose of the agreement is to develop quantitative life history models of fish population dynamics, specifically delta smelt and at least one other species; to quantify the effects of reservoir releases, gate operations and changes in the quantity and the timing of export pumping has on those dynamics and to predict the effects of these actions. The principal objectives of this project are to: (i) develop a Delta Smelt life history model; and (ii) develop multiple species life history models. (Refer to the Notice of Intent to Award Announcement No. R12AS20011 for additional information)
