The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) is offering this Western Alaska Landscape Conservation Cooperative (WALCC) grant to fund applied science initiatives. This grant is for the purpose of promoting coordination, dissemination, and development of applied science to inform landscape-level conservation, focusing on climate change and terrestrial-marine linkages in Western Alaska. Proposals are sought across three specific topics. Topic 1 aims to develop a smartphone app for invasive plant identification and record input. Topic 2 focuses on creating an outreach product summarizing current coastal change studies and identifying related information needs. Finally, Topic 3 seeks to improve WALCC’s social media utilization, specifically by identifying Facebook partners and advising staff on engagement strategies. This opportunity supports critical conservation efforts in the region.
