Federal synopsis
This Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) is for a U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) National and Regional Climate Adaptation Science Center (NRCASC) competitive research financial assistance award to a CESU partner.Projects supported under this cooperative agreement should advance Administration priorities, including, but not limited to, American energy dominance, critical mineral development, water security, infrastructure resilience, and natural hazard preparedness. Research and activities may incorporate scientific expertise in areas such as hydrology, geology, geospatial science, biosecurity, and near-earth space science, including extreme events such as drought, flooding, wildland fire, coastal erosion, severe storms, and geologic hazards, to develop actionable science, data, and tools that support informed decision-making by resource managers and stakeholders.Recreational fisheries contribute important nutritional and economic benefits to people, yet their role in supporting food security is often overlooked. As demand grows for sustainable, accessible food sources, there is a need for updated, regionally relevant information to support informed decision-making by federal and state fisheries managers. Leveraging emerging finer-scale inland recreational fisheries datasets, this project will update estimates of harvest, consumption, and economic value; refine species-specific vulnerability assessments; and integrate results to strengthen adaptive management techniques, prioritize monitoring efforts, sustain nutritional benefits, and enhance the resilience of U.S. fisheries. This project supports: EO 14276 -Restoring American Seafood Competitiveness (April 17, 2025) by providing research that strengthens fisheries management and scienceEO 14313 Establishing the President's Make America Beautiful Again Commission (July 3, 2025) …
