The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is awarding a cooperative agreement to the University of Massachusetts to research the impacts of climate change. This grant is for forecasting changes in stream flow, temperature, and salmonid populations in the Eastern U.S. as a result of climate change. Awarded as a single source due to unique technical expertise, the project supports the North Atlantic Landscape Conservation Cooperative (NALCC) goals. These include assessing habitat capabilities, predicting landscape-level impacts on fish and wildlife, targeting conservation programs, and enhancing partner coordination. The Service will actively participate in guiding the project, assisting with coordination among partners, and providing input on management needs.

| Description: | THERE IS NO “FULL ANNOUNCEMENT” ASSOCIATED WITH THIS NOTICE. This is a Notice of Intent to award a Cooperative Agreement between the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the University of Massachusetts for the purpose of implementing Forecasting changes in stream flow, temperature, and salmonid populations in Eastern U.S. as a result of climate change – What’s going to happen, how certain are we, and how can we help managers help fish? This Single Source Award is being made in accordance with Department of the Interior Policy 505 DM 2.14 B(4), which allows for award without competition to an applicant who is uniquely qualified to perform the activity based on technical expertise. This project is designed to support the overall goals of the North Atlantic Landscape Conservation Cooperative (NALCC), which includes the following: 1. Assess the current capability of habitats in the NALCC to support sustainable populations of fish and wildlife; 2. Predict the impacts of landscape-level changes (e.g., from urban growth, conservation programs, climate change, etc.) on the future capability of these habitats to support fish and wildlife populations; 3. Target conservation programs to effectively and efficiently achieve objectives in State Wildlife Action Plans and other conservation plans and evaluate progress under these plans; 4. Enhance coordination among partners during the planning, implementation and evaluation of habitat conservation through conservation design; 5. Evaluate complementary approaches to conservation design including the use of representative species and coarse filter ecological integrity approaches. Involvement on the part of the Service is anticipated for the successful completion of the objectives to be funded. In particular, the Service will be responsible for the following: participation in the Scientific Advisory Committee and in larger partner committees to guide project; assistance with coordination of project activities among partner agencies, including programs in the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and North Atlantic Landscape Conservation Cooperative partnership; assistance with coordination between the projects in this agreement and related projects through the North Atlantic Landscape Conservation Cooperative, Atlantic Coast Joint Venture, Regional Gap Analysis and other partnerships; and guidance on management needs and development of decision-support tools. |
