15.944 natural resource stewardshipsam.GOV link: click here for the SAM.GOV assistance listingtemplate: the natural resource stewardship program is the principle means through which the national park service (NPS) evaluates and improves the health of watersheds, landscapes, and marine and coastal resources, sustains biological communities on the lands and waters in parks, and actively endeavors to improve the resiliency of these natural resources and adapt them to the effects of climate change. To carry out and further this stewardship responsibility, NPS implements programs that encompass a broad range of research, operational, and educational activities by utilizing park personnel and contractor support or cooperative agreements. The virgin river project, managed by the washington county water conservancy district, will monitor native fish populations, provide mitigations to protect native fish during in-stream construction activities, perform fish clearance and surveys within zion national park. They will provide review and guidance for fish passage projects in zion. Beneficiaries include the general public.
