Opportunity Information: Apply for F18AS00346
The SHOREBIRD CONSERVATION PROJECT (Funding Opportunity Number F18AS00346) is a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service discretionary grant under the Department of the Interior focused on natural resource conservation (CFDA 15.664). The notice makes clear that this is a single-source intent to award, meaning the agency planned to issue one grant to one specific organization rather than run an open competitive selection. The intended recipient is Manomet, Inc., a qualified 501(c)(3) nonprofit (and not an institution of higher education), selected because of its specialized experience and ongoing partnerships in the project area, as well as its established role supporting the Service on the Pacific Americas Shorebird Conservation Strategy.
The core purpose of the grant is to improve understanding of how shorebirds use different habitats across the Gulf of Fonseca region in Central America, a landscape that surveys have identified as globally important for shorebirds during staging and wintering periods. A major applied component of the work is to evaluate how shrimp farming operations may affect shorebirds in the Gulf. Beyond simply documenting impacts, the project is also designed to move toward practical solutions by beginning the documentation, development, and implementation of best management practices for shrimp farms that can support both industry activity and sustainable shorebird populations.
The opportunity explicitly ties the proposed work to three priority actions in the Pacific Americas Shorebird Conservation Strategy (Senner et al. 2016): managing and conserving existing habitats, building conservation initiatives that involve natural resource industries (in this case, shrimp aquaculture), and improving the information base about current and future habitat conditions. In other words, the grant is structured to connect field-based monitoring and habitat-use research with industry engagement and on-the-ground conservation measures, using the Gulf of Fonseca as a high-priority focal area.
Administratively, the grant was posted on September 10, 2018 with an original closing date of September 15, 2018, reflecting the limited window typical of a notice of intent for a directed award rather than a broad solicitation. The award ceiling listed is $91,606, and the expected number of awards is one, consistent with the single-source approach and the agency rationale that Manomet, Inc. offers unique qualifications due to its existing regional partner network and its history of collaboration with the Service on shorebird conservation planning and implementation.Apply for F18AS00346
