Funding Opportunity Number: N40080-15-2-0001 Opportunity Category: Discretionary Funding Instrument Type: Cooperative Agreement Category of Funding Activity: Environment CFDA Number: Eligible Applicants Unrestricted (i.e., open to any type of entity above), subject to any clarification in text field entitled "Additional Information on Eligibility" Agency Name: DOD-ONR-FAC Closing Date: Jan 26, 2015 Award Ceiling: Expected Number of Awards: Creation Date: Jan 09, 2015 Funding Opportunity Description: Naval Support Facility Indian Head (NSFIH), Naval Support Facility Dahlgren (NSFDL), Naval Air Station Patuxent River Complex (NAS Pax River), and Blossom Point Research Facility (BPRF) are all installations that are surrounded by water, making them advantageous for bald eagle nesting. The surrounding water bodies include the Potomac River, Chesapeake Bay and Patuxent River.Because of the various missions at these installations, it is important to know where the eagles are nesting and to monitor the productivity of the nests. Collecting this data also provides more information on bald eagle population trends in the Chesapeake Bay Watershed. This study will be conducted throughout Naval Support Facility Indian Head (including NSF Stump Neck), Naval Support Facility Dahlgren (including Pumpkin Neck), Naval Air Station Patuxent River Complex (including OLF Webster Field, NRC Solomons Island and Bloodsworth Island Range) and Blossom Point Research Facility, targeting known bald eagle nest sites as well as potential nesting habitats. Continuing with these measures demonstrates the Navy?s commitment to Bald Eagle conservation.See attached scope of work for additional details.
