Opportunity Information: Apply for 70181AR035
The US Fish and Wildlife Service is planning to award a Cooperative Agreement to the Qawalangin Tribe in Unalaska, Alaska, for the McLees Lake Sampling project. This initiative aims to monitor the escapement of sockeye salmon, which are crucial for local subsistence fishing. The project addresses concerns regarding declining salmon returns and aims to build capacity within the tribe by hiring and training local residents as research assistants.
Located on Unalaska Island, the community has historically relied on sockeye salmon. Unfortunately, the sockeye run has diminished, prompting residents to focus more on McLees Lake for fishing. Previous monitoring methods have been unreliable, sparking the need for improved data collection to safeguard future fishing opportunities.
Key objectives include measuring the daily passage of salmon, determining run timing, estimating the sex and age composition, and measuring the size of the salmon. The project will involve the installation of a flexible weir at McLees Lake and regular monitoring of salmon passage, with data relayed to fishery managers for real-time management.
The Service will provide logistical support, training, and oversight, while the Tribe will be responsible for hiring research assistants and ensuring project compliance with conduct rules. The project is set to begin soon, with the potential for up to four additional years of funding based on performance and resource availability.Apply for 70181AR035
