The Department of the Interior is offering a grant to the University of Maine in Orono to assess the impacts of Hurricane Sandy on tidal marsh bird and plant communities in the Northeastern USA. The grant aims to collect essential data to improve the function of human-natural systems post-disaster. The funding will support survey data collection at selected sites along the U.S. Atlantic Coast affected by Hurricane Sandy, evaluating ecosystem resilience and restoration effectiveness. Additionally, the grant will gather post-storm survival data of various bird populations. Applications are accepted until April 18, 2014, to contribute to conservation efforts in the region.

| Description: | This is an announcement for issuing a single source financial assistance award to the University of Maine in Orono, Maine. This announcement is for notification purposes only. The intent of the award is to assess the impacts of Hurricane Sandy on the tidal marsh bird and plant communities of the Atlantic Coast in the Northeastern United States to ensure that immediate action can be directed to areas that will provide the greatest benefit to improving the function of coupled human-natural systems and that conservation priorities and institutional interventions for increasing resource resilience can be developed. This award is issued to provide financial assistance to 1) collect tidal marsh bird and vegetation survey data at (a) sites previously sampled by the Saltmarsh Habitat and Research Program during the summers of 2011-2013, (b) selected National Wildlife Refuges/Complexes along the U.S. Atlantic Coast as part of the Salt Marsh Integrity Assessment (SMI), and (c) additional sites where Hurricane Sandy restoration activities will be implemented on Department of Interior lands in order to quantify immediate-term ecosystem resilience and restoration effectiveness; and 2) collect post-storm reproductive and adult survival data from previously marked populations of Nelson¿s Sparrow, Saltmarsh Sparrow, Seaside Sparrow, Clapper Rail, and Willet located between NJ and ME. |
