OpportunityTitle: Spatial Analysis for Species Recovery and Habitat Restoration
AdditionalInformationOnEligibility: This is a notice of intent.  The opportunity has been awarded to Natural Resource Geospatial under 505 DM 2.14(4) Unique Qualifications.  No other applications will be reviewed.
Description: This project will develop habitat maps, spatial models of species habitat suitability, and habitat restoration maps to enable the Service, private institutions, and other cooperators to effectively develop, implement and monitor habitat conservation strategies and habitat restoration projects.The work for this project will be conducting spatial analysis and mapping to support develop of restoration projects, species recovery and management plans, and ecological evaluations for both terrestrial and aquatic species. Assist project cooperators (State and private cooperators, FWS staff) with ecological modeling for Siskiyou Mountains Salamander, Northern Spotted Owl, Fisher, anadromous fish, and other terrestrial and aquatic species. Use GIS to assist with development of prioritization models for habitat restoration planning. This work benefits interagency and non-governmental participation in recovery planning ($15,000) and large-scale planning of habitat restoration efforts ($10,000) for a number of terrestrial and aquatic species which are Federal and Tribal Trust responsibilities.1. STATEMENT OF WORKDesign and production of fisher trapping and transport boxes and holding facilities necessary for holding fishers in captivity. A. TASKS/MILESTONES:Task 1 -Produce final habitat spotted owl suitability maps and spatial statistics. Task 2 - Present spotted owl habitat modeling results to interagency/nongovernmental representatives. Task 3 - Produce publication maps for final reports. Task 4 - Work directly with YFWO staff and interageny specialists to develop spatial framework for habitat restoration analyses. Task 5 - Develop resource maps (terrestrial and aquatic species distributions, habitats) and estimated risk maps. Task 6 - Use modeling approaches to integrate spatial depiction of resource value and risk for use in prioritizing restoration efforts.Task 7 &#150; Submit Final Report to the YFWO B.
