About this opportunity

This announcement is to provide public notice of the National Park Services intention to fund the following project activities without full and open competition to the Wildlife Conservation Society for the amount of $54,389.00 to cooperatively complete the project described below. Project Title: Synthesis of historical and contemporary information on the avian fauna of Cape Krusenstern and Bering Land Bridge National Park STATUTORY AUTHORITY: 16 USC 5933, The Secretary is authorized and directed to enter into cooperative agreements with colleges and universities, including but not limited to land grant schools, in partnership with other Federal and State agencies, to establish cooperative study units to conduct multi-disciplinary research and develop integrated information products on the resources of the National Park System, or the larger region of which parks are a part. STATEMENT OF JOINT OBJECTIVES/PROJECT MANAGEMENT PLAN: The 1600 km of Bering Land Bridge National Preserve (BELA) and Cape Krusenstern National Monument (CAKR) coastlines include lagoons and estuaries, which are important areas for migratory birds breeding and staging activities. Close attention to these areas is warranted in light of the fact that the region is warming at twice the global average. Furthermore, in 2011, the US Bureau of Oceans and Energy Management awarded oil and gas exploration leases for development in the Chukchi Sea, ending a 30 year moratorium on outer continental shelf oil and gas development. This move will necessitate an escalation in shipping activity adjacent to the parks in support of the offshore developments, and place drill rigs as close as 170 miles away. The escalation in industrial activity, in conjunction with a rapidly changing climate reinforces the value of the National Park Service¿s mandate to ¿protect habitat for internationally significant populations of migratory birds.¿ Of the known species occurring in CAKR and BELA, 18 are species of concern (Alaska Shorebird Group, Boreal Partners in Flight Working Group), including the threatened yellow-billed loon (one of the Arctic Network¿s vital signs). However, while NPS has a long and rich history of collecting or supporting the collection of data in this region, there are no synthesized products. Such a dearth of relevant materials constrains the ability of managers to make informed resource management decisions, or for the general public to fully benefit from decades of NPS efforts in the region. The partner, in cooperation with the National Park Service will: STATEMENT OF JOINT OBJECTIVES/PROJECT MANAGEMENT PLAN This Agreement (Agreement) is being entered into by and between the Department of the Interior, National Park Service (NPS), and Wildlife Conservation Society. The objective of this agreement is to establish the baseline status of avifauna in the parks and begin to synthesize information on the vulnerability of different species to climatic change or development in a manner that can a) inform mangers; and b) be used in public outreach. This one-year project will synthesize earlier avian research efforts in CAKR and BELA, as well as at parallel sites on the Chukchi coast (Russian Federation) of interest to the NPS Shared Heritage Beringia Program. The NPS will cooperate with WCS PI in several ways to ensure the success of the project. First, NPS will assist WCS with reviewing field journals and digitizing archived data. Second, there will be ongoing communication and involvement by NPS to improve WCS access to all archived information and to manage the synthesis of information and assimilation into appropriate NPS data structures and storage. Finally, NPS will work with WCS to develop products within the context and framework of NPS communications to communicate the results of the project and resulting information.
