Cat Island Chain Habitat Enhancement and Management

This is a notice of intent for a single source award without competition under justification 505DM 2.14.B.4 in the approximate amount of $40,000 between the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (W-DNR). The goal of this project is to improve habitat for the federally endangered Great Lakes piping plover (Charadrius melodus) and other migratory bird species and address beneficial use impairments in the Lower Green Bay Fox River AOC. Competition for this award is not practical since the W-DNR is uniquely qualified as they have extensive experience working in the primary project area, the Cat Island Chain, and are an active partner in the restoration project.
