About this opportunity

NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD This Funding Announcement is not a request for applications. This announcement is to provide public notice of the National Park Service’s intention to fund the following project activities without full and open competition. ABSTRACT Funding Announcement Number P15AS00797 Project Title Changing Tides – Bivalve Bioassay and Analysis Component Recipient Alaska SeaLife Center Principle Investigator / Program Manager Tuula Hollmen Principal Investigator Total Anticipated Award Amount $130,000.00 Cost Share None New Award or Continuation? New Anticipated Period of Performance 07/20/2015 through 09/30/2018 Award Instrument Task Agreement Statutory Authority 54 USC 101702(a) CFDA # and Title 15.945, Changing Tides – Bivalve Bioassay and Analysis Component Single Source Justification Criteria Cited (4) Unique Qualifications NPS ATR Point of Contact Erica Cordeiro OVERVIEW This project is a critical component of a larger project, “Changing Tides,” which seeks to identify causal relationships between marine intertidal invertebrate (MII) health, visitor use, and brown bear physiology. “Changing Tides” will increase understanding of how anthropogenic stressors may affect both marine intertidal invertebrates (MII) and bear population persistence at multiple spatial and temporal scales. This project will examine the development of a monitoring tool that uses bioassays to link changing ocean conditions directly to food web dynamics. This will make a significant contribution to the scientific understanding of coastal ecosystems. This project is to complete bioassay analyses and assess select bivalve species’ response to environmental perturbations. These measurements will allow comparison of the health of the clam or mussel populations at different sites, assess their responses and sensitivity to environmental stressors (changes in levels), and their energetic value as bear prey. STATEMENT OF JOINT OBJECTIVES/PROJECT MANAGEMENT PLAN The public purpose for this agreement is to fund a University of Alaska, Fairbanks post-doctoral fellow stationed at the Alaska SeaLife Center, researching the suitability of clams, mussels and other marine invertebrates to serve as indicators of ecological condition. The University of Alaska Fairbanks is a Land, Sea and Space Grant university and an international center for the arts. UAF lists as one of their core themes "Research: To create and disseminate new and scholarly works." The Alaska SeaLife Center's mission is to generate scientific knowledge to promote understanding and stewardship of Alaska's marine ecosystems. This project assists both the UAF and the ASLC in accomplishing their missions. The bivalve populations that will be sampled in this project are part of the nearshore food web in the marine system that begins with kelps and algaes and culminates in feeding higher trophic level vertebrates such as bears, sea otters, sea duck, shorebirds and other fauna. It is a collaboration between the Alaska SeaLife State University and the National Park Service. The techniques developed from the work at the Alaska SeaLife Center will be used in the larger “Changing Tides” project. Finally, this research is supporting the efforts of the GulfWatch Alaska program, a multi-agency group responsible for the long term monitoring of resources affected by the Exxon Valdez oil spill. GulfWatch Alaska includes several federal and state agencies including NPS, as well as universities. A final report, several peer reviewed journal articles and an Alaska Park Science article will be produced collaboratively that focus on the importance and vulnerability of intertidal invertebrates, way intertidal invertebrates should be monitored and make recommendations for the timing and distribution of bear viewing and clam harvesting activities.
