Opportunity Information: Apply for G20AS00119
The Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit, Gulf Coast CESU grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number G20AS00119) is a US Geological Survey (USGS) discretionary funding call issued under the Department of the Interior to support science and technology research and development through a cooperative agreement. The project is aimed at improving fisheries management by producing a large-scale estimate of recreational fish harvest from inland waters, with the longer-term intention of developing a nationwide picture of freshwater recreational harvest and angler use. USGS frames this as increasingly important under climate change conditions, since managers need a defensible baseline of where, how much, and how recreational fishing pressure is occurring in order to spot emerging problems, anticipate shifts in fish populations and angler behavior, and prioritize management actions.
A central challenge the opportunity is trying to address is the fragmented nature of freshwater recreational fisheries data in the United States. Inland fisheries are shaped by highly variable state and local regulations, different reporting systems, and diverse fisheries that change over time due to ecological dynamics, social trends, and environmental conditions. Because data are inconsistent across jurisdictions and fisheries, straightforward aggregation is not enough to produce reliable large-scale harvest estimates. For that reason, USGS emphasizes the need for modeling approaches that can integrate disparate data sources, account for regulatory and ecological differences, and generate comparable estimates across broad geographic areas.
Rather than immediately attempting a full national estimate, the award is structured as a regional pilot focused on the Southeast United States. The pilot is meant to develop and test the analytical methodology, data integration workflow, and estimation framework needed to quantify harvest and angler use at a large scale. The expectation is that lessons learned in the Southeast pilot will be used to build a scalable approach that can later be expanded to a national framework, making the work both a practical management product for the region and a template for broader implementation.
Eligibility is limited to partners within the Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) network, specifically associated with the Gulf Coast CESU, with the listing indicating "Others" and directing applicants to additional eligibility details in the full notice. USGS anticipates making a single award, with an award ceiling of $200,000. The opportunity was originally posted July 1, 2020, with an original closing date of July 22, 2020, and is associated with CFDA number 15.808. Overall, the grant is best understood as targeted funding to create a robust, model-based estimate of inland recreational fish harvest in the Southeast, explicitly designed to be expanded into a defensible, nationwide assessment that fisheries managers can use now and in the face of future climate-driven change.Apply for G20AS00119
