The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is offering this grant to support the development of wildlife-friendly wind power within the Great Lakes region. This competitive program provides assistance to groups and government agencies engaged in monitoring migratory birds and bats, which are Federal trust resources. The grant specifically addresses two critical data gaps: monitoring bird and bat usage of selected Great Lakes islands during 2011-2012 migrations to convert into spatially explicit data, and digitizing historic bird migration survey datasets from the U.S. Great Lakes shores or islands. Grantees will also collaborate with the Service on Federal compliance issues like the National Environmental Policy Act and Endangered Species Act.
