GLIN==> GRANT ANNOUNCEMENT: Great Lakes Wind Power-- Making it Wildlife Friendly

GRANT OPPORTUNITY ANNOUNCEMENT

The Great Lakes Wind Power-- Making it Wildlife Friendly, Great Lakes
Restoration Initiative Grants Program (FWS-ES-GLRI-10WW ) provides grants
and other assistance on a competitive basis to those groups and government
agencies engaged in monitoring of migratory birds, a Federal trust
resource, and bats in support of developing wildlife-friendly wind power
within the Great Lakes region of the United States. The U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service (Service), is soliciting project proposals for Federal
assistance under the FWS-ES-GLRI-10WW . The Service will award grants
addressing two data gaps in assessing the impact of wind power on migratory
birds and bats: 1) monitoring migratory bird and/or bat use of selected
Great Lakes islands during fall 2011 and/or spring 2012 migration and
conversion of the monitoring data into spatially explicit data; and 2)
digitization of data sets from historic spring and/or fall bird migration
surveys that occurred along the shores of the U.S. Great Lakes or on
islands within the U.S. Great Lakes.
