Cooperative Agreement 96995401

Under this U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) National Fish Passage Program (CFDA 15.685) Cooperative Agreement award, Trout Unlimited, Inc. and its partner organizations are implementing a $170,000 project to eliminate the risk of bull trout and redband trout entrainment in Long Creek on the Sycan Marsh Preserve in Oregon. The project involves designing, fabricating, and installing a fish screen on an unscreened irrigation diversion that currently poses a threat to the last remaining bull...

This Cooperative Agreement award of $6,750,000.00 from the U.S. Department of the Interior's Bureau of Reclamation under the Aquatic Ecosystem Restoration Program (CFDA 15.580) will enable the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW) to study, design, and construct fish screens at unscreened diversion points along the Klamath River in Oregon. The project aims to install fish screens to prevent juvenile and adult fish, including endangered salmon and suckers, from entering the canals and...

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, through its National Fish Passage Program (CFDA 15.685), awarded a $342,000 project grant to the Eagle Valley Soil And Water Conservation District in Oregon. The grant supports the removal of fish passage barriers and implementation of habitat restoration projects within the East Pine Creek watershed, which is designated critical habitat for threatened bull trout. The project aims to restore aquatic connectivity and improve migratory corridors for bull trout...

This Cooperative Agreement award from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service under the National Fish Passage Program (CFDA 15.685) provides $509,838 to Trout Unlimited, Inc. to design and permit five fish screens on the Keno Reach of the Klamath River in Oregon. The project aims to address the many unscreened diversions in this reach between the Keno Dam and Link River Dam, in order to support native fish populations. As a subrecipient, Trout Unlimited, Inc. will partner with the Family Water...

This $600,000 cooperative agreement awarded by the U.S. Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service Region 1 will fund fish passage restoration projects in the Tillamook Bay watershed in Oregon through December 2026. Trout Unlimited, Inc. will work with engineering services providers to design aquatic organism passage structures to replace three fish passage barriers. This will restore access for Chinook, chum, and threatened Oregon Coast coho salmon, steelhead, cutthroat trout, and...

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, under the Endangered Species Recovery Implementation program (CFDA 15.657), awarded a $164,350 Cooperative Agreement to the Nevada Department of Wildlife. The funds will be used to generate feasibility assessments and design alternatives for constructing fish passage barriers and irrigation diversion structures to protect the federally threatened Lahontan cutthroat trout. Specific deliverables include: Evaluation of the feasibility and design alternatives...

The Bureau of Reclamation awarded a $999,929 Project Grant under the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act (CFDA 15.517) program to California Trout, Inc. for a 3-year project. The purpose of this grant is to monitor and evaluate the ecological impacts of removing the Klamath River dams, which will open over 400 miles of previously blocked fish habitat. Key project activities include using sonar, species composition sampling, and radio telemetry to estimate salmon and steelhead abundance and...

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration awarded a $644,000 Project Grant to Oceans Initiative under the Congressionally Identified Awards and Projects program (CFDA 11.469). The grant will fund the development of a Targeted Acoustic Startle Technology system to reduce predation on endangered Chinook salmon in the Cedar River migration route. The primary goal is to create a non-lethal tool that decreases predation by pinnipeds, thereby increasing survival of Chinook salmon. Chinook...

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) awarded a $4,896,250 Cooperative Agreement under the National Fish Passage Program (CFDA 15.685) to Trout Unlimited, Inc. and the Confederated Tribes of the Colville Reservation to assess the feasibility of removing Enloe Dam on the Similkameen River in Washington. The primary objectives are to collect additional information, complete engineering and design work to 60% for dam removal, generate a refined cost estimate, and prepare permit applications....

The Department of the Interior's Fish and Wildlife Service awarded a $154,000 Project Grant to Trout Unlimited, Inc. under the Fish and Wildlife Management Assistance program (CFDA 15.608) to remove a concrete barrier on Jenny Creek and restore fish passage. This work will support the ongoing removal of four major dams on the Klamath River, which will provide over 400 miles of restored habitat for anadromous salmonids like coho salmon, Chinook salmon, steelhead trout, and Pacific lamprey. The...
