This grant is for developing a tool to predict the invasion of non-native fish in the Northwest's freshwater habitats. The goal is to help manage and protect native fish like bull trout from threats such as brook trout and smallmouth bass. The project supports conservation efforts and aims to improve fisheries management and protect cultural and economic interests.
Who it's for: This grant is open to any organization or individual with the capability to develop scientific tools and models. It's particularly suitable for those with expertise in hydrology, geology, geospatial science, biosecurity, or related fields.
