This $286,029 Project Grant award from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service under the State Wildlife Grants (CFDA 15.634) program will fund a 3-year integrated assessment of the taxonomy and conservation status of up to 25 crayfish species of greatest conservation need (SGCN) in North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia.
The key objectives are to: 1) conduct field surveys and genetic analyses to comprehensively evaluate the taxonomic and conservation status of the target crayfish SGCN, 2)...
This U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) Region 4 Project Grant, awarded under the State Wildlife Grants (CFDA 15.634) program, will provide $359,633 to fund sampling and genetic analysis to build a robust understanding of crayfish diversity in the coastal plain of the participating states. The grant was awarded on January 1, 2025 to the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission, a state government agency responsible for managing and conserving North Carolina's wildlife resources. The...
This $119,288.84 Cooperative Agreement awarded by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) under the Cooperative Research Units (CFDA 15.812) program will fund a postdoctoral researcher at North Carolina State University to develop a generalizable modeling approach for conducting status assessments of southeastern crayfishes. The key deliverables include:
A generalizable modeling approach based on crayfish life history
Current and future species status modeling for four rivulet crayfish species
A...
The South Carolina Department of Natural Resources received a $135,400 Formula Grant award from the U.S. Department of the Interior's Fish and Wildlife Service under the State Wildlife Grants (CFDA 15.634) program. The grant will be used to provide an updated assessment of the population genetic health of horseshoe crab populations along the South Carolina coast. This effort will compare the genetics of marsh-spawning and beach-spawning horseshoe crabs to determine if they represent distinct...
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service awarded a $206,235 Formula Grant under the State Wildlife Grants (CFDA 15.634) program to the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries. This two-year grant, running from January 1, 2025 to December 31, 2026, will evaluate the distribution, population status, and habitat requirements for six crayfish species of greatest conservation need in the Pearl River drainage basin in Louisiana. The project will employ multiple sampling techniques across streams,...
This federal Formula Grant award of $215,679 from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service under the State Wildlife Grants (CFDA 15.634) program supports conservation efforts focused on four species of burrowing crayfish in Arkansas. The primary recipient, the Arkansas Game & Fish Commission, will evaluate habitat suitability and identify potential translocation sites to inform future efforts to translocate these crayfish species. The project will also pilot a translocation effort for the...
This $3,418,135 Formula Grant award from the U.S. Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service under the Sport Fish Restoration program (CFDA 15.605) supports the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources in managing, protecting, and enhancing the state's freshwater fisheries resources. Key activities funded include:
Annually assessing the condition of South Carolina's freshwater fishery resources in selected rivers, streams, lakes, and reservoirs to provide reliable,...
This $508,634 project grant, awarded by the U.S. Department of the Interior's Fish and Wildlife Service under the State Wildlife Grants (CFDA 15.634) program, will investigate the foraging behavior of shorebirds, particularly red knots, in relation to horseshoe crab (HSC) egg abundance in marsh habitats in South Carolina. The project aims to determine if the assumption that shorebird foraging can be modeled directly from counts of HSCs during in-water surveys is valid, as there are concerns...
The Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service Region 4 awarded $320,788 to the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources under the State Wildlife Grants program to support projects benefiting the imperiled Robust Redhorse fish species. The award period is from January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2025. Key deliverables include conducting environmental DNA studies to assess Robust Redhorse populations across multiple river systems in South Carolina, monitoring the species in...
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has awarded a $282,412 Formula Grant through the State Wildlife Grants (SWG) Program to the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department. The grant supports two main objectives: (1) address critical knowledge gaps about Texas crayfish species to inform conservation and management decisions, and (2) develop high-throughput environmental DNA (eDNA) sampling methods for two crayfish species of greatest conservation need in Texas.
The project will generate data and...
