Opportunity Information: Apply for L19AS00085
The NV Fisheries and Aquatic Resource Management opportunity is a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) funding program focused on conserving and improving aquatic and riparian resources on public lands in Nevada. It supports on-the-ground management and collaborative projects that help maintain healthy streams, rivers, wetlands, lakes, and reservoirs while balancing the multiple uses that occur on BLM-managed lands. The underlying idea is that properly functioning riparian and wetland systems are essential for clean water, resilient wildlife habitat (both aquatic and terrestrial), reduced erosion, better water quality, and strong recreational opportunities for nearby communities.
This grant is offered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management, and is issued as a discretionary cooperative agreement, which generally indicates BLM expects to be substantially involved during the project (for example, through technical coordination, joint planning, data sharing, field participation, or alignment with BLM management priorities). The opportunity is tied to the Natural Resources funding activity category and is associated with CFDA number 15.244. The funding opportunity number is L19AS00085, and the program anticipates making about three awards, with an award ceiling of $150,000 per award.
Projects supported under this opportunity center on aquatic habitat management and restoration. The description highlights several major program areas: fish and aquatic habitat conservation; riparian and wetland conservation; control of aquatic invasive species; improving aquatic organism passage (for example, addressing barriers that limit fish movement or reconnecting habitats); and monitoring of riparian and instream habitat conditions. Monitoring also includes water quantity and water quality condition and trend tracking, reflecting an emphasis not only on implementing improvements but also on measuring ecological outcomes over time. In practical terms, this can include planning and implementing restoration actions that improve stream function, reconnect streams to floodplains, stabilize and revegetate riparian zones, protect sensitive wetland areas, and reduce impacts that degrade habitat or water quality.
Eligibility is broad and geared toward organizations that commonly partner in natural resource management. Eligible applicants include state, county, and city or township governments; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; federally recognized Native American tribal governments; and nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education in that nonprofit category). The structure suggests BLM is seeking partners with the capacity to deliver field work, monitoring, or technical expertise, and to coordinate with land managers and other stakeholders in the watershed.
The application window opened June 12, 2019, with a final closing deadline of September 1, 2019 at 5:00 PM Pacific Time. The notice also lists staged due dates that appear to reflect review rounds: Round One applications due July 12, 2019 at 5:00 PM PT, Round Two applications due August 12, 2019 at 5:00 PM PT, and a final closing date of September 1, 2019 at 5:00 PM PT. Overall, the opportunity is aimed at funding collaborative, measurable efforts that protect and restore aquatic and riparian ecosystems, address invasive species and connectivity challenges, and improve understanding of water and habitat conditions on BLM lands in Nevada.Apply for L19AS00085
