This grant from the Department of the Interior is focused on providing financial assistance to Musconetcong Watershed Association for ecological data collection related to Hurricane Sandy coastal resiliency and aquatic connectivity restoration projects. The project aims to collect data on fish abundance, flooding extent reduction, and increased stream miles for aquatic species by monitoring Hughesville Dam on the Musconetcong River in New Jersey. The grant will support vital spawning habitat for anadromous fish and enhance habitat for native brook trout, contributing to improving aquatic connectivity system effectiveness and functionality. Funding is made possible through the Hurricane Sandy Disaster Relief Supplemental Appropriation Act of 2013.

| Description: | This is an announcement for issuing a single source financial assistance award to Musconetcong Watershed Association in Asbury, New Jersey. This announcement is for notification purposes only. The intent of the award is to perform ecological data collection for Hurricane Sandy coastal resiliency aquatic connectivity restoration projects. The grantee will collect data related to coastal resilience benefits such as: fish abundance, reduced flooding extent, and increased stream miles available to aquatic species. Information will be obtained through project visits, fish surveys, modeling, and other methods. This project will contribute crucial knowledge that will be used to improve aquatic connectivity system cost-effectiveness and functionality. Specifically this effort will focus on Hughesville Dam on the Musconetcong River in Pohatcong Township, Warren County and Holland Township, Hunterdon County, New Jersey. This project will monitors important spawning habitat for anadromous fish as well as improving habitat for native brook trout. This project is authorized by the Disaster Relief Appropriations Act of 2013, Public Law 113-2.The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Region 5, intends to make a sole source award of a Cooperative Agreement to Musconetcong Watershed Association. This project was previously vetted and approved for funding by the Department of the Interior. The appropriation for this project is the Hurricane Sandy Disaster Relief Supplemental Appropriation Act of 2013, Public Law 113-2. Criteria for funding was based on the projectâ¿¿s ability to yield the greatest return on investment by taking advantage of existing science and regional planning tools for resiliency and by working with states, cities, communities, and partners who contribute to the goals restoring and rebuilding national wildlife refuges and other federal public assets: and to increase resiliency and the capacity of coastal habitat and infrastructure and to withstand future storms and to minimize the damage incurred. |
