Opportunity Information: Apply for L17AS00109
The BLM CA Western Snowy Plover Monitoring opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L17AS00109) is a discretionary cooperative agreement offered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management (CFDA 15.231) focused on natural resources monitoring and endangered species compliance work on BLM-managed coastal habitats in California. The project centers on the South Spit area, which supports three federally listed plants and birds, including the threatened western snowy plover and two endangered plant species (Humboldt Bay wallflower and beach layia). The core purpose is to carry out consistent, repeatable monitoring that helps BLM meet Endangered Species Act obligations to track species status and implement recovery-oriented management actions.
The main scope of work is field monitoring of western snowy plover presence and use at South Spit and other BLM-managed beach areas. Surveys are planned to occur roughly twice per week during the plover breeding season, defined in the announcement as March 1 through September 5, with reduced effort to about once per month during the non-breeding season. The announcement also notes that survey effort may be adjusted depending on nesting activity, meaning the schedule can become more or less intensive based on real-time conditions such as nest initiation, chick presence, or changes in site use. Monitoring is framed as an essential companion to habitat management because, without data on plover use and nesting outcomes, it is not possible to tell whether habitat work is actually improving conditions for the species.
Eligibility is described as unrestricted, meaning the competition is open to any type of applicant, subject to any additional eligibility details that may have appeared in the full notice. BLM anticipated making a single award, with an award ceiling of $150,000. The opportunity was created on May 18, 2017, and originally closed on July 17, 2017. Overall, the grant is designed to support structured, season-long monitoring that produces actionable information for federal conservation responsibilities and on-the-ground management decisions affecting the western snowy plover on BLM coastal lands.Apply for L17AS00109
