Marine Ecosystem Management and Offshore Development Service

The government authority located in California requires a vendor to provide marine ecosystem management and offshore development services. The buyer needs the selected vendor to extend existing marine mammal and sea turtle monitoring through targeted augmentations such as additional instruments, seasons, locations, or movement and behavioral measurements. The requested scope also includes collecting data on seabird at-sea density, flight height, and behavior over and adjacent shelf approaches using digital high-resolution aerial imagery, vessel-based strip-transect surveys, and GPS tracking where feasible. Additionally, the vendor must extend existing monitoring of fish and invertebrate assemblages and, where appropriate, calibrate emerging survey methods against established ones to quantify comparability. Only USA organizations qualify for this opportunity. The vendor will perform the work offsite. The buyer accepts proposals to determine the project budget. The provided text omits evaluation criteria and key dates.
