About this opportunity
The Department of the Navy Naval Facilities Engineering Command is seeking applicants for a cooperative agreement to conduct long-term ecosystem monitoring of vegetation at Marine Corps Air Station (MCAS) Miramar in California. The project involves re-surveying 82 permanently established monitoring plots to document the effects of military operations and training on native vegetation. Key deliverables include detailed site descriptions, analysis of ecological trends, management implications, and final reports with GIS data. The project has a period of performance of 36 months.
The estimated award value is $777,865, and the work will be performed at MCAS Miramar. This federal grant opportunity falls under the Department of Defense's Basic and Applied Scientific Research program (CFDA 12.300), and applications are due by September 3, 2024, with an anticipated award date of September 15, 2024.
Synopsis
History/Background:
Marine Corps Air Station Miramar (MCAS Miramar) has been an active installation since the 1940s, focusing on providing services, material support, and training venues that promote combat readiness. Since, its inception and the establishment of the Sikes Act in 1960, MCAS Miramar has actively been monitoring the effects of military land use on the overall condition of natural resources. In 1994, the Center for Earth Systems Analysis Research, a shared educational and research center located at San Diego State University, established a long term monitoring protocol to provide the mechanism for documenting the effects of military operations and training on vegetation native to MCAS Miramar. This protocol provided a continuous database of which to assist in altering land management actions to ensure long-term availability of natural areas for training and conservation.
Brief Description of Anticipated Work:
The project is to develop and implement a work plan for the current iteration of this monitoring effort, re-survey 82 permanently established monitoring plots according to MCAS Miramar's standardized ecosystem monitoring program that inventories and monitors the condition of training lands and natural resources, identify and describe any ecological trends developing as indicated by the previous and current survey efforts for the monitoring plots, provide detailed site descriptions and information on disturbance and erosion, provide individual summaries of the composition, structure and site characteristics of the 82 plots surveyed in the 2003 LTEM report, provide contrast of summaries of the individual plots that comprise each major vegetation type for the three survey efforts, provide evaluation and discussion of management implications, provide photographic documentation of the plots, and submit draft and final reports along with all associated Geographical Information System (GIS) deliverables and maps for this monitoring effort that integrates all years' efforts, results, analyses, evaluates the effectiveness of this effort.
