Mapping Exotic Weeds at Lake Roosevelt National Recreation Area

Project ID: J9W88030004 [project-data-part-1] Initial Funding: $8,000 Total Funding: $8,000 [project-data-part-2] Abstract: The primary objective of this task agreement is to develop an accurate ground verified map of the location and distribution of exotic weeds within Lake Roosevelt National Recreation Area (LARO).


Develop Bull Trout Monitoring Plan and Critical Habitat Assessment

Project ID: J9W88030005 [project-data-part-1] Initial Funding: $7,504 Total Funding: $7,504 [project-data-part-2] Abstract: Develop a bull trout monitoring plan and produce a bull trout critical habitat assessment for Crater Lake National Park. The bull trout monitoring plan will look at a range of monitoring approaches/sample designs. The critical habitat assessment will evaluate the influence of brook…


Deploy Automated Profiling Vehicle on Crater Lake

Project ID: J9W88030006 [project-data-part-1] Initial Funding: $5,500 Total Funding: $5,500 [project-data-part-2] Abstract: Crater Lake National Park has in place a long-term monitoring program of biological data. There is need for higher frequency of data than is obtainable through routine monitoring, originally begun under an agreement between the NPS and the United States Geological Survey Biological…


Identifying Spatial Metrics to Evaluate the Influence of Recreational Impacts on Ecosystems in Mount Rainier National Park

Project ID: J8W07110029 [project-data-part-1] Initial Funding: $24,848 Total Funding: $24,848 [project-data-part-2] Abstract: Parks are directed to regulate the use of national parks while preserving natural processes and ecosystems for future generations in such a manner that leaves them unimpaired. Social trails and campsites are two obvious signs of recreational use that are frequently recorded to…

Project ID: J8W07110030 [project-data-part-1] Initial Funding: $369,990 Total Funding: $369,990 [project-data-part-2] Abstract: The National Park Service (NPS), the Department of Interior, and the President of the United States have sought to increase science-based resource management in NPS units to improve the understanding of park resources and incorporation of such information by park managers in making…


Assessment of Semi-Volatile Organic Compounds in Fish from High Elevation Lakes in Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks

Project ID: J8W07110031 [project-data-part-1] Initial Funding: $38,070 Total Funding: $38,070 [project-data-part-2] Abstract: Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks (SEKI) was one of the eight primary parks intensively sampled as part of the Western Airborne Contaminants Assessment Project (WACAP). Two SEKI lakes (Emerald and Pear) were sampled for a suite of semi-volatile organic compounds (SOC) resulting…


Transportation as a Barrier to Visiting National Parks by Communities of Color

Project ID: J8W07110032 [project-data-part-1] Initial Funding: $98,256 Total Funding: $98,256 [project-data-part-2] Abstract: Research has shown transportation to be a barrier to visitation to parks and public lands for many communities of color. Research that examines transportation issues for communities of color can assist parks in removing barriers to access, allowing parks to better engage traditionally…


Puget Sound Basin Air Pollution Model

Project ID: J9088020004 [project-data-part-1] Initial Funding: $10,000 Total Funding: $10,000 [project-data-part-2] Abstract: The objective of the Puget Sound Basin Air Pollution Model project is to educate the public on the ill effects of automobile emissions on national park resources through the development of three-dimensional animations of air pollutant flows in the Puget Sound Basin.


Cultural Landscape Analysis and Treatment Guidelines for Crater Lake National Park

Project ID: J9088020005 [project-data-part-1] Initial Funding: $14,996 Total Funding: $25,249 [project-data-part-2] Abstract: The NPS is documenting and evaluating the historical significance of Rim Drive in Crater Lake National Park.
