OpportunityTitle: Brook Trout Suppression in the Upper Malheur River
Description: This Funding Announcement is not a request for applications. This announcement is to provide public notice of the Bureau of Reclamation&#239;&#191;&#189;s intent to enter into a grant agreement in 2011 whereby the Burns-Paiute Tribe (Tribe) will use cost-share funds from Reclamation to monitor relative abundance of brook trout, as a result of removal efforts. Non-native brook trout exist in high number in the Upper Malheur. The introduced fish poses serious threats to the federally threatened bull trout&#239;&#191;&#189;s long term viability because of its ability to outcompete and hybridize with the native. Removal of the non-native brook trout and the ensuing monitoring study will increase opportunities for the Tribe to better manage and protect their water resources.
