Opportunity Information: Apply for W81EWF 25 SOI 0006
This funding opportunity, offered by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers through the Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC), supports monitoring of the Interior Least Tern (ILT) populations along the McClellan-Kerr Arkansas River Navigation System within the Little Rock District. The project focuses on studying ILT nesting and habitats along the Arkansas River, from Fort Smith to the Mississippi River, including both natural river sandbar colonies and rooftop nesting sites.
The ILT, a fish-eating bird species once federally listed as endangered, has faced significant challenges due to habitat loss caused by river engineering, dam operations, and water management projects. Although the species was delisted in 2021, continued habitat restoration and monitoring remain critical. The Corps has committed to ongoing efforts outlined in their 2019 conservation plan, including restoring nesting habitats and keeping track of tern populations.
The awarded organization will conduct field research on ILT nesting success, habitat conditions, and population trends across at least 12 river colony sites and 3–5 rooftop colonies. This monitoring is essential for evaluating the success of conservation measures and understanding broader watershed health. The data collected will also help inform management strategies, contribute to scientific research, and be shared with various stakeholders to promote public awareness and support for ecological conservation.
Only non-federal partners of the Great Rivers or Gulf Coast Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Units (CESU) are eligible to apply for this opportunity.Apply for W81EWF 25 SOI 0006
