1 Rhode Island Marine Fisheries Institute: State Wildlife Grant Opportunities May 15, 2017
2 State Wildlife Grant - Overview State Wildlife Grant (SWG) Program administered by USFWS Provides funds to State fish and wildlife agencies for developing and implementing programs that benefit wildlife and their habitats, including species that are not hunted or fished Funds may be used to address a variety of conservation needs: research, fish and wildlife surveys, species restoration, habitat management, and monitoring, species must be identified within State s Wildlife Action Plan (SWAP) Congress appropriates funds for SWG on an annual basis; apportions to States, commonwealths, and U.S. territories based on formula that considers each State s population and total geographical area
3 State Wildlife Grant - Overview Identified and described in the SWAP, species of greatest conservation need include species which have experienced population declines or are considered keystone species for their habitat Threats to these species are also described in the SWAP, and include such factors as habitat loss or fragmentation, competition from non-native species, and stressors related to climate change The Plans identify habitats, as well as actions needed to restore or maintain viable populations of these species
4 State Wildlife Grant - Overview Outlines methods to monitor populations and measure effectiveness of States conservation actions, enabling States and their partners to utilize adaptive management for conservation of these priority species SWG funds administered by the Wildlife and Sport Fish Restoration Program provides unique source of funding, helping States to focus on species that do not normally get dedicated funding Allows proactive research opportunities Website if you want to find out more:
5 SWG Project Ideas Already using SWG funds for marine research URI did a project on blue crabs Currently running a project on Jonah crabs Two other priorities have come up, in part based on feedback from RIMFI meetings Telemetry project Windowpane Flounder
6 SWG Project Ideas RI waters currently a black hole in the telemetry network along the coast, this will be fixed by project Telemetry project will focus on sturgeon to start Will help support eventual section 10 permit Will lend needed research to how sturgeon use RI waters (habitat; transit) Potentially partnering with URI engineering program Once acoustic arrays are set, pick up anything passing by, therefore broad applicability
7 SWG Project Ideas Windowpane has come up at several RIMFI meetings as an industry priority Potentially facing a draconian accountability measure due to poor population signals, however species is not targeted and discrepancies exist between on the water observations and survey results The Nature Conservancy is working with local vessels on camera monitoring, may be able to partner and use this info to better understand differences
8 Next Steps
9 Lobster Ventless Trap Meeting Recent questions from industry regarding comparing of various RI-based ventless trap survey data. Report out review and analyses regarding various lobster ventless trap surveys: BOEM Ventless Trap Survey (Collie) RI State Ventless Trap Survey (McManus) DWW Ventless Trap Survey (Griffin/Livermore) RIMFI Hosted Meeting, possibly this summer. Outside of the Fall 2017 RIMGI Research Meeting,
10 RI Sea Grant Spring 2017 Solicitation Multiple RIMFI projects are being proposed for the recent Sea Grant RFP. Improve understanding of the socio-economic impacts of wind energy produced by the wind farm off Block Island. Improve understanding of harmful algal blooms (HABs) in Rhode Island waters, with a focus on Alexandrium and Pseudo-nitzschia taxa. RIMFI-affiliated proposals awarded will be introduced at the Fall 2017 Meeting.
11 RIMFI Website Website currently being developed to host RIMFI related information. RIMFI Mission and Background. Meeting Minutes. Active and Previous Projects. Links of or Lists of Affiliated Presentations and Publications. Future RIMFI Meeting and Affiliated Event Information. Goal: increase RIMFI awareness and highlight success of the program.
