Water temperature is one of the most significant factors in the health of stream ecosystems. Temperature plays a critical role in salmonid reproduction and survivorship and is an essential indicator for monitoring the health of Bristol Bay salmon habitats, which support vital subsistence, commercial and sport fisheries. The objectives of this project are to develop an Implementation Strategy for a voluntary participation water temperature monitoring network for Bristol Bay; expand the annual Water Quality/QAPP Recertification training for local monitors to include standardized water temperature monitoring protocols; initiate temperature monitoring in select drainages; and seek long-term funding for a comprehensive...

This layer represents the heatmap output of the Marxan analysis for the resilience-based scenario. This layer was developed as part of a collaborative project between the University of Hawaii Manoa (Hawaii Coral Reef Initiative), Hawaii Division of Aquatic Resources, and the Center for Ocean Solutions. Coral reefs in Hawaii are increasingly at risk due to climate change and other human impacts. Recent bleaching events caused mortality in many reefs around the islands, prompting state resource management agencies to form a plan to protect them and promote recovery. The goal of this project was to use Marxan spatial analysis software to identify reef locations that have the best chance to recover and thrive under...
Streams, rivers, and lakes of the Kodiak Archipelago, Alaska, provide essential spawning and rearing habitat for millions of Pacific salmon collectively regarded as a foundation of the regional ecosystem and economy. Climate projections for the archipelago indicate probable increases in annual and seasonal air temperature over the next 85 years. Corresponding increases in the temperature of freshwaters also are expected, which may adversely influence the biology of salmon, the quality of salmon habitat, and the availability of salmon to support the ecosystem and economy. It is essential that salmon managers be provided with relevant and reliable information on expected changes in thermal regimes and their influence...
The FWC has been heavily involved in contributing to and shaping the three LCC’s that include Florida, with special emphasis on the Peninsular Florida Landscape Conservation Cooperative (PFLCC), which falls entirely within the state of Florida.Substantia lresources from multiple partners will be required to establish and maintain the PFLCC.FWC will partner with the Service and through this Cooperative Agreement will work in collaboration with the Service to assume roles and responsibilities of the Science Coordinator and Communication Coordinator for the PFLCC.The activities included in the Science Coordination section of this report were completed by the FWC PFLCC Science Coordinator (Kate Haley, July 2013 –July...
This project entails creation and refinement of the conservation targets for the terrestrial Priority Resources for the Peninsular Florida Landscape Conservation Cooperative. Potential Conservation Targets were developed through stakeholder Workshops held throughout the State of Florida in 2016/2017. Lists of potential CTs were generated through brainstorming and general discussion and stakeholders ranked the final list for suitability for using as a measure of Priority Resource health. The resulting list of potential CTs for the Hardwood Forested Uplands Priority Resource were explored and the results were presented to the Hardwood Forested Uplands team. The potential CTs were ranked according to the availability...

The Washington Shrubsteppe Restoration and Resiliency Initiative (WSRRI) is a new collaborative effortdedicated to conserving the states shrubsteppe wildlife and habitat in the face of increasing threatsfrom wildfire, climate change and other stressors. As part of a long-term transboundary strategy, we willwork with our partners to further co-develop and integrate TerrAdapt into adaptive management plans,enabling managers to better prioritize where shrubsteppe conservation actions (e.g., protecting corehabitat from invasive annual grasses and fire, restoring sagebrush and mesic habitats post-fire, ormitigating key highway movement barriers) are implemented to maintain ecologically connectednetworks of habitat that...
Our main objective is to support territorial climate adaptation, natural resource management, and policy in American Samoa (AS) by bridging information gaps between regional and regional stakeholders through innovative web-tools. These tools will be co-produced with five regional agency partners, and will directly support implementation of their existing climate adaptation management and research activities to significantly move the needle in territorial climate adaptation capacity. (2) The need for a centralized data portal in AS is not new. AS-DOC hosted a now offline GIS portal to support building-permit applications, and in 2016 AS-EPA, AS-DOC, and CRAG, were funded to create a geospatial framework to enable...

In order to better understand the determinants of outplanting success and improve the conservation plan of this species we propose to continue extensive monitoring while also adding sampling to investigate the correlation of success with origin and genetics of founder accession as well as environmental variables (e.g., temperature, rainfall, soil nutrients, and neighboring plant community).The project will provide extensive data predicting determinants of reintroduction and outplanting success in correlation to origin and genetic profiles of founder accessions and environmental variables at outplanting sites. This information will be directly used as basis for an updated conservation plan for Polyscias bisattenuata,...

The citizen science pilot began in April of 2023 and ends in November of 2023. Based on the response and number of specimens received the collection efforts may continue into 2024. The Lepidoptera Research Collection (LRC) will be made available to all scientists within the USGS to conduct research. States included in the pilot study (Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, Georgia, and Alabama) were selected based on at least one of three factors: 1) locality relative to the migration pathway of the Monarch butterfly, 2) presence of confined animal feeding operations (CAFOs), or 3) locality relative to the Corn Belt. The Environmental Organic Chemistry (EOC) unit, located at the Kansas Water Science Center, will specifically...

The CED will be the tool for USFWS programs to enter in their information on BIL projects. This funding supports modifications to the system to allow for BIL tracking and reporting.
Rivers and streams are highly vulnerable to fragmentation from roads due to their prevalence in the landscape. Road-stream crossings are far more numerous than other anthropogenic barriers such as dams; these crossing structures (culverts, bridges, fords, and tide gates) have been demonstrated to impede the passage of aquatic organisms. However, road-stream crossings vary widely in the extent to which they serve as a barrier. It is important to identify barrier severity to facilitate prioritization of restoration activities, since proactively addressing all structures is not feasible. In 2015 the North Atlantic Landscape Conservation Collaborative (LCC) funded a project managed by the North Atlantic Aquatic Connectivity...

North American Grassland ecosystems are a regional priority of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS).And in order to implement Strategic Habitat Conservation (SHC) planning the FWS Grasslands EcosystemTeam (GET) needs to better understand the threat of climate change. Based on survey results of GET’sknowledge and needs, we propose to deliver targeted training to enhance the GETs ability tostrategically address climate issues in conservation planning. To date, the GET has successfullyaddressed other grassland threats (e.g., land conversion) but without this training the GET will behandicapped in their ability to fully integrate climate impacts and adaptation into the grassland SHC.
This project studies the Clapper Rail (Rallus longirostris) as an indicator of Gulf Coast tidal marsh habitat change. In spite of much data on the Clapper Rail, critical data is lacking - annual survivorship - which will allow development of species-habitat models to predict the effects of future environmental change. This project will compile existing secretive marsh bird point count data into a breeding marsh bird atlas for the northern Gulf of Mexico and use these data to develop population estimates. Second, nano-tags will be employed to collect survivorship data for Clapper Rails. Those data will be combined with other existing data sets to develop individual-based population models for Clapper Rails. The development...

Annual assessment of nesting populations of geese on the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta (YKD) provides information for biologists, participants in cooperative goose management plans, and Pacific Flyway technical committees. A ground-based sampling procedure has been used since 1986 to estimate the number of total nests, active nests, and eggs for cackling geese, emperor geese, greater white-fronted geese, and spectacled eiders. Annual information on the size of the nesting population and potential number of young produced contributes long term data needed to understand goose and eider population ecology and better manage these species. The survey has been the primary method of measuring recovery status for the western population...

Partnership with the Intermountian West Joint Venture to support communications on BIL project opportunities & outcomes.
This multi-faceted project aims to assess nesting habitat for the Federally-listed piping plover (Charadrius melodus) and other beach-dwelling species on Atlantic coastal beaches and to forecast future habitat under accelerating sea level rise. This project engages a broad community of stakeholders along 1500 km of the U.S. Atlantic breeding range from North Carolina to Maine to address a shared problem in species and landscape management and increases collaboration and collective ‘ownership’ of the problem. The project can be divided into three parts: 1) Application development. Using agile software development approaches, a smartphone application called iPlover was conceived, developed and deployed in just a few...
This cooperative agreement, part of the suite of North Atlantic LCC Hurricane Sandy Marsh resilience projects, will increase understanding of how marshes across a range of conditions in the Northeast are likely to respond to sea level rise and storms. We will parameterize coupled marsh and hydrodynamic models for estuaries in the Northeast affected by Hurricane Sandy. The model will be applied to Plum Island Sound, MA in 2015. In the second year of the project, the Hydro-MEM model will be applied to the Edwin B. Forsythe National Wildlife Refuge, in coastal NJ, the John H. Chafee National Wildlife Refuge, in Rhode Island and the back barrier marsh complexes from the inlet of Chesapeake Bay to Ocean City MD, including...
