What the grant funds
REQUEST FOR STATEMENTS OF INTEREST NUMBER W9126G-21-2-SOI-4384 Project to be ROJECT TO BE INITIATED IN 2021 Applicants must be members in one of the following Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Units (CESU): Gulf Coast, Piedmont-South Atlantic Coast, or South Florida-Caribbean Project Title: Monitoring Alligator Status as a System-wide Ecological Indicator of Everglades Restoration, Florida Responses to this Request for Statement of Interest will be used to identify potential investigators for a project to be funded by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Jacksonville District, which will monitor American Alligator abundance, distribution, and health in the Florida Everglades in accordance with 10 U.S.C. § 2358 - Research and Development. Approximately $145,053.00 is expected to be available to support this project during the base period. Additional funding may be available for follow on work in subsequent fiscal years to the successful Recipient/Awardee. Background: The Water Resources Development Act (WRDA) of 2000 authorized the Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan (CERP) as a framework for modifications and operational changes to the Central and Southern Florida Project needed to restore the South Florida ecosystem. Provisions within WRDA 2000 provide for specific authorization for an adaptive assessment and monitoring program. A Monitoring and Assessment Plan (MAP) (RECOVER 2004, 2006) has been developed as the primary tool to assess the systemwide performance of the CERP by the REstoration, COordination and VERification (RECOVER) program. The MAP presents the monitoring and supporting research needed to measure responses of the South Florida ecosystem to CERP implementation. The Florida Everglades is the only place in the world where both alligators and crocodiles occur. Crocodilians (American alligator, Alligator mississippiensis, and the American crocodile, Crocodylus acutus) are indicators of ecosystem health and restoration success, because at all life history stages, crocodilians integrate biological impacts of hydrologic conditions (Mazzotti and Brandt 1994, Rice et al. 2004, Mazzotti 1999, Mazzotti and Cherkiss 2003, Mazzotti et al. 2009). Research has linked three key aspects of Everglades’ ecology to crocodilians: (1) Top predators such as crocodilians are directly dependent on prey density, especially aquatic and semi-aquatic organisms, and thus they provide a surrogate for status of many other species.
