USGS recreational fisheries research project on harvest, consumption, and species vulnerability

The U.S. Geological Survey is seeking a research partner to study inland recreational fisheries as food systems. - Government buyer: U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), National and Regional Climate Adaptation Science Center (NRCASC). - Research project: “Recreational fisheries as food systems: risk management for inland fisheries across the US and globally.” One three-year project is anticipated, with estimated funding of $200,000. - Requested work: Update global estimates of inland recreational fisheries harvest, consumption, and economic value; develop species-specific vulnerability assessments using physiological, ecological, and environmental exposure data; and examine vulnerability alongside U.S. harvest and consumption using high-resolution, species-specific datasets, such as Creel Cat. - Intended use: Provide evidence to support fisheries risk management, monitoring, and adaptive management. - Products and vendors: No commercial products, OEMs, or vendors are identified. The project is research financial assistance rather than a product purchase.

Description

This Notice of Funding Opportunity seeks a U.S. Geological Survey National and Regional Climate Adaptation Science Center cooperative agreement with a participating partner of the Chesapeake Watershed CESU. The project focuses on recreational fisheries as food systems, updating estimates of inland fisheries harvest, consumption, and economic value, refining species-specific vulnerability assessments, and supporting adaptive management and monitoring. One award is anticipated for a three-year period, with total estimated funding of $200,000. Eligible recipients must be participating partners of the Chesapeake Watershed CESU.
