This grant is for conducting a comprehensive food web analysis of the Methow River and its floodplain. The research involves field sampling, laboratory processing, and data analysis to evaluate fish production, trophic basis, and food webs at restoration sites. Additionally, the grant aims to conduct a Before-After-Control-Impact analysis to assess responses to side channel restoration. Applicants need to address specific objectives to contribute to adaptive management processes. The closing date for applications is May 30, 2016, 12:00:00 AM EDT.

| Description: | A repetition of the year-round field sampling and laboratory processing required to complete such a before-after comparison and evaluate the ATP model is necessary. To take full advantage of this opportunity for learning within the adaptive management process, the following objectives must be addressed: 1) complete calculations and analysis of fish production and its trophic basis at the restoration site and other habitats that were not treated, 2) quantify food webs associated with these sites and conduct analyses like those completed in previous study, 3) conduct the BACI analysis to evaluate responses to side channel restoration, and provide key results against which to calibrate the ATP model. |
