Description

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Fisheries Alaska Regional Office requires professional, scientific services to conduct a non-invasive photo-identification study of the endangered Cook Inlet Beluga Whale distinct population segment. The primary objective is to collect and analyze high-quality digital photographic data to fill critical information gaps regarding individual and population characteristics, including demography, reproductive rates, habitat use, and movement patterns. Key components of the scope include conducting a minimum of 14 boat-and shore-based photo-identification surveys within Cook Inlet, Alaska, during the designated field season. The contractor will also be responsible for integrating new imagery and select government-provided stranding/historical photos into the existing Cook Inlet Beluga Whale Photo-ID Project catalog (2005-2025) using established methodologies. Furthermore, the contractor will analyze longitudinal data to produce peer-review quality reports summarizing survival, mortality, and anthropogenic trauma to inform NOAA Fisheries' management, recovery actions, and ESA Section 7 consultations. A communication protocol for the immediate reporting of observed stranded or injured marine mammals to the NOAA Fisheries Alaska Region Stranding Coordinator must also be implemented. The base period of performance is two years, from September 30, 2026, to September 29, 2028. The first year is dedicated to field season and data collection, while the second year is for documentation, data analysis, and report production. Work will be conducted off-site, primarily in the field via boat and shore-based surveys in Cook Inlet, Alaska, and at the contractor's office location.
