OpportunityTitle: Cooperative Agreement for CESU-affiliated Partner with Great Rivers Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit
AdditionalInformationOnEligibility: This financial assistance opportunity is being issued under a Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) Program.&#160; CESU&#8217;s are partnerships that provide research, technical assistance, and education.&#160; Eligible recipients must be a participating partner of the Great Rivers Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) Program.&#160; &#160;
Description: The US Geological Survey is offering a funding opportunity to a CESU partner for research, to maintain and further develop the U.S. Inland Creel and Angler Survey Catalog (CreelCat) and the Fish and Climate Change database (FiCli) and to highlight applications of using both databases to inform management, particularly climate adaptation. CreelCat and FiCli are publicly available databases that establish a baseline of national inland recreational fishing metrics and provide summary information on climate effect on fish and management actions, respectively. Although these tools are useful individually, this funding opportunity will focus on integrating them with ongoing CASC-funded research, and drive modeling efforts to predict inland recreational anglers&#8217; responses to global environmental change.
