The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is offering a grant to conduct monitoring and research on the federally endangered California least tern breeding colony and the light-footed Ridgway’s rail population within Naval Weapons Station, Seal Beach and Seal Beach National Wildlife Refuge. The project aims to enhance the site database by analyzing nesting success, breeding data comparison, and providing vital information for the management of these endangered species. The grant will support survey efforts to address the decline in the Ridgway’s rail population, playing a crucial role in conservation decisions.

| Description: | The purpose of this Agreement will be two-fold. First it will focus on monitoring and research on the federally endangered California least tern breeding colony within Naval Weapons Station, Seal Beach (Station) and Seal Beach National Wildlife Refuge (SBNWR). The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) and the U.S. Navy (Navy) are cooperatively managing the existing colony. Monitoring of nesting success, analysis of the breeding success relative to other colonies and past data will greatly increase the site database and also serve to supplement regional information collected regarding known, banded birds from this and other colonies. The second purpose of this Agreement is to survey the population of the federally endangered light-footed Ridgway’s rail breeding on the Station and SBNWR and provide the Navy with a report. The population at SBNWR has been in decline over the past two decades with alarming lows in recent years. This survey effort will supplement the existing database, which plays an important role in management decisions for this federally listed species. |

| Description: | The purpose of this Agreement will be to focus on monitoring and research on the federally endangered California least tern breeding colony and to survey the population of the federally endangered light-footed Ridgways rail breeding within the Naval Weapons Station, Seal Beach and Seal Beach National Wildlife Refuge (SBNWR). The monitoring of California least tern nesting success, banding of young and some adults, analysis of the breeding success relative to other colonies and past data will greatly increase the site database and also serve to supplement regional information collected regarding known, banded birds from this and other colonies. The light-footed Ridgways rail population at SBNWR has been in decline over the past two decades with alarming lows in recent years. This survey effort will supplement the existing database, which plays an important role in management decisions for this federally listed species. Within a regulatory framework, the proposed cooperative agreement would ensure compliance with the 2014 Stations Integrated Natural Resources Management Plan (INRMP). |
