15.808 -- U.S. Geological Survey Research and Data Collection
Description
The US Geological Survey is offering a funding opportunity to a CESU partner for collaborative research focused on Pacific salmon ecology and habitat modeling in the Pacific Northwest, United States. In 2022, USGS selected the Willamette River Basin as the fourth integrated water science basin in the United States which has resulted in the devotion of significant multi-year funding focused on examining factors affecting the supply and demand of water for human and salmon. In 2023, the Biden-Harris administration committed $208 million to efforts to restore heathy and abundant salmon populations in the Upper Columbia River Basin. The Biden-Harris administration further expanded emphasis on Pacific salmon conservation in the Pacific Northwest by announcing an intention to move forward with the removal of four dams on the Lower Snake River in 2023 as well. These examples illustrate the magnitude of importance of Pacific salmon in the region and substantial funding is available to advance the state-of-science for these species. USGS currently has funding in-place and is actively contracting for new projects focused on salmon ecology and habitat modeling in the Willamette River Basin, Yakima River Basin, Upper Columbia River Basin, and Upper Snake River Basin and requires assistance to produce the best-possible products for these contracted activities.
