This grant from the Bureau of Reclamation aids the Burns-Paiute Tribe in suppressing and monitoring non-native brook trout in the Upper Malheur River. This funding supports essential monitoring post-removal, targeting high numbers of introduced brook trout. These invasive fish seriously threaten the federally threatened bull trout via competition and hybridization, jeopardizing native species viability. By funding brook trout removal and subsequent monitoring, this initiative empowers the Burns-Paiute Tribe to better manage and protect their water resources. This effort contributes significantly to the ecological health and biodiversity of the Malheur River ecosystem.

| Description: | This Funding Announcement is not a request for applications. This announcement is to provide public notice of the Bureau of Reclamation�s intent to enter into a grant agreement in 2011 whereby the Burns-Paiute Tribe (Tribe) will use cost-share funds from Reclamation to monitor relative abundance of brook trout, as a result of removal efforts. Non-native brook trout exist in high number in the Upper Malheur. The introduced fish poses serious threats to the federally threatened bull trout�s long term viability because of its ability to outcompete and hybridize with the native. Removal of the non-native brook trout and the ensuing monitoring study will increase opportunities for the Tribe to better manage and protect their water resources. |
