Monitoring and Evaluation of Russian River Coho Salmon

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) is seeking sources for market research to support the monitoring and evaluation of the Russian River Coho Salmon Captive Broodstock Program. The project involves monitoring juvenile and adult coho salmon in multiple release streams to estimate survival rates, develop expanded counts of hatchery-origin adults, evaluate natural spawning success, and assess trends in abundance of naturally produced coho salmon. The required monitoring has occurred primarily on Willow, Dutch Bill, Green Valley, and Mill creeks for approximately the past 20 years. • The project requires skills and capabilities necessary to perform monitoring and evaluation services. • The project involves working with the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW), and USACE. • The project has a period of performance of 1 year with 3 option years. • The project requires respondents to provide information about their capabilities, experience, and qualifications.
