Opportunity Information: Apply for P19AS00353
The Seabird Surveys and Outreach in Resurrection Bay opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number P19AS00353) is a Department of the Interior, National Park Service discretionary cooperative agreement focused on seabird monitoring and public education in coastal Alaska. The project centers on continuing and expanding a year-round seabird monitoring effort in Resurrection Bay by carrying those monthly surveys farther out to include the coastline of Kenai Fjords National Park. These surveys record both species presence and counts, and they are described as the only year-round, monthly seabird survey program operating anywhere in Alaska, which makes the dataset especially valuable for tracking long-term changes in seabird populations and seasonal patterns in a region influenced by shifting ocean conditions.
In addition to the scientific monitoring component, the award also supports outreach and stewardship work aimed at building public awareness and engagement around seabirds. A key example specifically mentioned is support for seabird stewardship outreach such as the annual Seward Seabird Festival, indicating that the project is designed to pair consistent, standardized field data collection with education and community-facing programming that encourages conservation-minded behavior and interest in seabird ecology.
Administratively, this notice is structured as a single planned award with an expected maximum federal amount (award ceiling) of $300,000 and one anticipated recipient. While the eligibility category listed is 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations (excluding institutions of higher education), the notice explicitly states it is a notice of intent to award to a specific organization: the Seward Association for the Advancement of Marine Science, doing business as the Alaska SeaLife Center. Because it is a sole-entity intent-to-award announcement, applications are not being accepted from any other organization. The opportunity was created on July 3, 2019, with an original closing date of July 10, 2019, reflecting that the public posting functions primarily as a formal notification rather than an open competitive funding round.
Overall, the grant supports two connected goals: extending a uniquely consistent, statewide-rare seabird monitoring time series into Kenai Fjords National Park waters, and strengthening public outreach that promotes seabird stewardship in the Seward area through activities like the Seward Seabird Festival.Apply for P19AS00353
