Opportunity Information: Apply for L17AS00141
The BLM CA North Coast Seabird Protection Network (NCSPN) grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L17AS00141) is a discretionary federal funding program offered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management. It is set up as a cooperative agreement, which generally means the federal agency expects to be actively involved with the recipient during the project rather than simply issuing funds with minimal interaction. The activity category is Natural Resources, and it is listed under CFDA 15.231, signaling that it fits within Interior/BLM assistance programs tied to resource conservation and restoration work.
This opportunity is funded through the Kure/Stuyvesant Restoration Fund, which was created in response to two major oil spill incidents that impacted Humboldt County’s coastline in Northern California. The first incident occurred on November 5, 1997, when the vessel M/V Kure released about 4,500 gallons of oil into Humboldt Bay after a fuel tank was punctured on a Louisiana Pacific dock piling near Samoa, California. The second spill happened on September 6, 1999, when the dredge M-V Stuyvesant discharged roughly 2,100 gallons of oil into the Pacific Ocean near the mouth of Humboldt Bay by Eureka. Following that release, strong winds pushed the oil plume nearly 15 miles offshore and carried it northward as far as Patricks Point near Trinidad. Together, these events contaminated coastal beaches and harmed wildlife along the Humboldt County coast, and response teams documented and collected both injured and dead animals, including a significant number of affected seabirds, in the area between Humboldt Bay and Trinidad.
Within that context, the NCSPN project is positioned as one element of a broader restoration effort intended to address the ecological damage from those spills, with an emphasis on seabird impacts along the North Coast. While the short description does not spell out a full scope of work, the title and framing indicate the project’s core purpose is seabird protection and restoration-oriented outcomes in the spill-affected region, building on the documented injuries and mortality observed during the wildlife response efforts. In practical terms, projects under a “seabird protection network” label commonly involve coordinated monitoring, risk reduction, and protection measures across multiple coastal sites, often linking agencies, local organizations, and field partners to improve seabird conservation results over time.
Eligibility for applicants is listed as “unrestricted,” meaning the competition is open to any type of entity as long as it meets any additional eligibility conditions that might be included in the full notice. The opportunity anticipated a single award with a funding ceiling of $100,000. The notice was created on June 9, 2017, with an original application deadline of August 9, 2017, which places it as a time-limited funding round aimed at supporting one selected recipient to carry out the NCSPN work under BLM’s cooperative agreement framework.Apply for L17AS00141
