The United States Geological Survey (USGS) is offering this grant to Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) partners to fund critical research focused on the endangered California Clapper Rail. This funding opportunity is specifically designed to improve existing presence/absence survey methodologies for the species. Key objectives include developing models for occupancy, enabling the detection of these rails in challenging, hard-to-access marsh environments, and comprehensively documenting their colonization of newly established marsh restoration sites. The research will primarily utilize innovative Autonomous Recording Units (ARUs) to achieve these monitoring and conservation goals, thereby enhancing understanding and recovery efforts for this imperiled bird.
