Opportunity Information: Apply for BOR MP 18 N023
The Trinity River Fisheries - Run Size Survey grant opportunity is a discretionary cooperative agreement offered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Reclamation, under CFDA 15.532 (Central Valley Project, Trinity River Division, Trinity River Fish and Wildlife Management). It is tied to the Central Valley Project Improvement Act (CVPIA), Public Law 102-575, specifically Title XXXIV, Sections 3406(b)(1) and 3407(e), which support actions to protect and restore fish and wildlife resources affected by Central Valley Project operations. The opportunity was published on September 5, 2018, with an original closing date of September 19, 2018, and it anticipated a single award.
At its core, the project funds adult salmon and steelhead population assessments in the Trinity River, often described as run size surveys because they quantify how many adult fish return during migration and spawning periods. These assessments are used to guide fisheries management decisions by providing reliable, technically defensible estimates of adult abundance and trends over time. That information is essential for balancing harvest opportunities with conservation needs, including making sure enough fish escape fisheries and reach spawning areas to sustain natural reproduction (natural escapement). With accurate run-size and escapement data, managers can better allocate harvest among user groups and adjust regulations in a way that supports long-term population health.
The Bureau of Reclamation indicated its intent to issue the agreement to the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW), and the project description emphasizes that CDFW would be responsible for meeting all technical requirements associated with the monitoring and assessment work. Beyond field monitoring, the award also supports CDFW providing technical assistance and playing an active role in the Trinity River Restoration Program (TRRP). CDFW participates as a partner California natural resource agency on the Trinity Management Council (TMC) and in TRRP work groups, helping ensure that fisheries science and management responsibilities are integrated into restoration actions and that TRRP efforts align with broader fishery management goals and objectives.
The opportunity highlights why the Trinity River fishery matters: it supports tribal commercial and subsistence fisheries as well as non-tribal recreational and commercial fishing. Because these fisheries have cultural, economic, and food-security importance, accurate adult assessment work functions as the backbone for equitable and sustainable management. In practice, the data produced by this work informs decisions that affect fishing seasons, harvest limits, and broader restoration priorities intended to rebuild and maintain resilient salmonid populations.
Financially, the announcement lists an estimated total agreement value of $5,433,034.30, with $1,434,944.00 provided by Reclamation in Fiscal Year 2018. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which typically means there is expected to be substantial federal involvement during project implementation (for example, coordination on technical approaches, reporting, and alignment with program objectives), rather than a hands-off grant. The notice also references a related Notice of Intent to Award (Announcement No. BOR-MP-18-N023) for additional details.
Although the source data lists eligible applicants as 501(c)(3) nonprofits, the narrative makes clear that this specific action was intended as an agreement with CDFW and structured around CDFW's established role in Trinity River fisheries monitoring and the TRRP governance framework.Apply for BOR MP 18 N023
