The Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit, Great Lakes-Northern Forests CESU, is offering this grant to investigate the vulnerability of fish habitats to climate and land-use change. This project, initiated by USGS, aims to downscale Atmospheric-Ocean General Circulation Models to identify impacts on fish habitats and their biological responses across national, regional, and local scales. This grant is for developing a national-scale integration. It will combine ongoing National Fish Habitat Action Plan (NFHAP) assessments with global climate change models and land-use predictions. The goal is to comprehensively assess future impacts on the Nation’s aquatic systems and fish populations.

Eligibility
| Eligible Applicants: | Others (see text field entitled “Additional Information on Eligibility” for clarification) |
| Additional Information on Eligibility: | Eligibility: This financial assistance opportunity is being issued under a Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) Program. CESU’s are partnerships that provide research, technical assistance, and education. Eligible recipients must be a participating partner of the Great Lakes-Northern Forests Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) Program”. As no funding will provided for assessing the nation’s fish habitat, successful applicants must have access to or provide matching capabilities to perform a national assessment of fish habitat for the lower 48 states. Further, successful applicants must provide expertise in fish habitat assessment and modeling, GIS capabilities and provide the necessary expertise to manage the project. |
Additional Information
| Agency Name: | Geological Survey |
| Description: | USGS has initiated a large project to downscale the Atmospheric-Ocean General Circulation Models (AOGCM) to identify how climate and land-use change will impact the vulnerability of fish habitat at national, regional, and local scales. Results from this project will be used to determine the biological responses of fishes to these changes. This project relies on the on-going work of the partnership-driven National Fish Habitat Action Plans (NFHAP) national assessment of fish habitat, to incorporate global climate change models and predicted land-use change to the Nations aquatic systems. Funding provided under this project will be used to develop the national scale integration of on-going fish habitat assessment and climate change and land-use predictions. |
