North Atlantic LCC RFP Topics 1&2: Recommendations for Funding Steering Committee Meeting Gardiner, New York December 12, 2012 Scott Schwenk, Science Coordinator Andrew Milliken, Coordinator North Atlantic Landscape Conservation Cooperative

North Atlantic LCC RFP Topic 1: Aquatic and Coastal Species Science Needs Purpose and Background: To better understand distribution, habitats, and threats for key aquatic/coastal species across the North Atlantic to enhance conservation decisions High priority: Atlantic Coastal Fish Habitat Partnership (ACFHP) NALCC Technical Committee Complements existing LCC work (brook trout; stream flow and temperatures; aquatic integrity)

Process January to March: Technical Committee review of science needs April 18: Steering Committee approval of topic July 6: WMI issues RFP August 17: RFP closes; 14 proposals received August – October: technical review panel assembled and reviews proposals Co-chaired by Emily Greene, ACFHP 15 reviewers 4 state agencies EPA, NOAA, USGS, USFWS

Results of Technical Panel Review Top 5 proposals: addressed majority of NALCC geography Initial scoring: proposal by Downstream Strategies ranked highest Technical review panel discussion and follow-up questions confirmed scoring results Consensus recommendation of the review panel: NALCC Steering Committee select Downstream Strategies for full $250,000 funding

Downstream Strategies Proposal Stakeholder / expert involvement to inform assessment process End result: Decision Support Tool Visualize, rank, and manipulate inputs to prioritize conservation Regional users: use to target conservation projects where most effective in a regional context Local users: understand and address conditions and stressors at catchment scale

Related Work by Downstream Strategies Evaluating aquatic habitat condition for Great Lakes Basin Fish Habitat Partnership Developing priorities for the Ohio River Basin Fish Habitat Partnership Working with the Midwest and Great Plains Fish Habitat Partnerships, USFWS, and Plains & Prairie Potholes

Purpose and Background: North Atlantic LCC RFP Topic 2: Evaluation of restoration methods that allow salt marshes to adapt to sea-level rise Purpose and Background: To evaluate salt marsh restoration, enhancement and management methods in order to learn and help design approaches to help North Atlantic marshes adapt and persist High priority: NALCC Technical Committee and Coastal sub-team

Process January to March: Technical Committee review of science needs April 18: Steering Committee approval of topic July 6: WMI issues RFP August 17: RFP closes; 3 proposals received September – October: technical review panel assembled and reviewed proposals Co-chaired by Amanda Babson (NPS) and Susan Adamovicz (FWS NWRs) 11 reviewers 2 state agencies EPA, NOAA, CWS, USFWS, LCC

Results of Technical Panel Review All 3 proposals reviewed and scored High variability in scores Technical review panel discussion and follow-up questions confirmed scoring results No project supported by consensus Concerns related to project designs, ability to collect adequate data & applicability across LCC Consensus recommendation: revise and reissue RFP Revision needed based on Hurricane Sandy?
