This grant from the Bureau of Reclamation is for a vital study to understand juvenile winter-run Chinook salmon growth, migration, and survival to adulthood. Awarded to the University of California, Santa Cruz, this project aims to investigate how water temperature and flow dynamics in the San Francisco Bay-Delta estuary critically affect these processes. The principal objectives of this experiment are to develop a high-resolution model incorporating water temperature, salinity, and strontium values. Researchers will also analyze adult otoliths to accurately determine growth rates and validate the comprehensive model by comparing its results to archived juvenile otolith samples. This research will significantly enhance understanding of crucial factors impacting salmon populations.

| Description: | The Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation) intends to issue a grant agreement to University of California, Santa Cruz under the authority of Catalog of Federal 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 $80,475.00 with Reclamation providing $80,475.00 in Fiscal Year 2013. The purpose of this project is to conduct a study to understand juvenile winter-run Chinook salmon growth, migration, and survival as these are heavily affected by water temperature and flow dynamics of the San Francisco Bay-Delta estuary. The principal objectives of this experiment are to: (1) Develop a model that incorporates water temperature, salinity, and strontium values to generate an accurate high resolution map of the area; (2) Analyze adult otoliths to determine growth rates; and (3) Validate the model and results by comparing it to archived juvenile otolith samples. (Refer to the Notice of Intent to Award Announcement No. R13AS20036 for additional information)
A Determination by the Government not to compete this proposed financial assistance based upon Departmental Manual 505 DM 2, paragraph 2.14(B)(2) & (4) is solely within the discretion of the Government. This notice of intent is NOT a request for competitive proposals.
