19 July | Landscape Characterisation and Monitoring in the Chesapeake Bay Watershed

EPA

This NOFO is seeking insightful, expert, and cost-effective applications from eligible applicants to provide the Chesapeake Bay Program (CBP)’s non-federal partners with updated land use/land cover (LULC) data, enhanced river corridor data, and landscape metrics and communication products associated with these data to facilitate their application to CBP outcomes and the CBP’s Phase 7 suite of modeling tools. EPA seeks to support one recipient for four Activities:

1. produce high spatial-resolution (<= 1m2) land cover for the years 2025/26 ensuring consistent and accurate estimates of land cover change since 2013/14; 
2. produce hyper-temporal spectral indices from 1985- 2028; 
3. produce high spatial-resolution (<= 1m2) land use for the years 2025/26 ensuring consistent and accurate estimates of land use change since 2013/14 and improve BMP opportunity mapping and verification with LULC data; and
4. characterize stream corridors to enhance the utility and application of hyper-resolution hydrography data.

Cost share of 5% of total project costs is required.
