Fish and Wildlife Service

Description

THIS IS A NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD TO A SINGLE SOURCE, AND THERE IS NO FULL ANNOUNCEMENT ASSOCIATED WITH THIS NOTICE. This notice is not a request for competitive proposals. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) intends to award a grant agreement to Environment Canada under authority 15.655 and the Fish and Wildlife Act of 1956, as amended (16 USC 742a-742j). The Services proposes to provide financial assistance to leg-band Atlantic Population Canada gees in the Ungava Peninsula to allow estimation of annual survival and harvest rates. In 1997, a breeding ground banding program was initiated in northern Quebec to obtain the necessary biological data to determine the cause of the decline and to propose new management strategies. It is essential that banding on the breeding grounds be maintained to determine current and future rates of survival and harvest. The information is needed to develop new management strategies to ensure recovery of the population
