This grant from the Bureau of Reclamation is for projects supporting conservation of sensitive aquatic species in the Upper Colorado Region. Its purpose is to reduce vulnerability and prevent decline, aiming to avoid listing under the Endangered Species Act (ESA). This ensures Reclamation’s sustainable water and power delivery. Priority species are those recognized as sensitive but not yet federally listed, like roundtail chub and bluehead sucker. Key focus areas include habitat improvement/protection and reducing non-native species impacts on native populations. Research and monitoring proposals are also considered if they clearly support management plan implementation.

| Description: | The Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation) is requesting proposals for projects in support of conservation activities for sensitive aquatic species affected by Reclamation projects and other water development in the Upper Colorado Region. The goal of this program is to reduce the vulnerability and prevent further decline of sensitive aquatic species through management and research activities, thereby reducing the potential for listing under the Endangered Species Act. Pursuing this goal will allow Reclamation to accomplish its core mission of water and power delivery in an environmentally sustainable manner. Priority species include those not currently listed under the Endangered Species Act but are recognized by state and/or federal agencies as sensitive or species of concern. Primary examples include roundtail chub, bluehead sucker, flannelmouth sucker, northern leatherside, southern leatherside, spotted frog, northern leopard frog, and least chub. Two high-priority areas of the program are sensitive species habitat improvement/protection and reducing negative impacts of non-native species on sensitive native species. Proposals for research and monitoring will also be considered, although the role of these projects in implementation of management plans must be clearly identified. (It is anticipated to make multiple awards for this request, not a single award as indicated above.) |
