TRIBAL ENGAGEMENT IN REGIONAL OCEAN PARTNERSHIPS | ROUND 3 FUNDING FY24-25 PENOBSCOT INDIAN NATION, NA25NOSX473C0133 TRIBAL ENGAGEMENT IN REGIONAL OCEAN PARTNERSHIPS | ROUND 3 FUNDING FY24-25 THE NATIONAL OCEANIC AND ATMOSPHERIC ADMINISTRATION (NOAA) IS AWARDING $313,995 THROUGH THE BIPARTISAN INFRASTRUCTURE LAW TO THE PENOBSCOT INDIAN NATIONS DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES (PIN DNR) OVER A TWO-YEAR PERIOD TO ENHANCE TRIBAL ENGAGEMENT IN COASTAL AND MARINE RESOURCE MANAGEMENT. THIS FUNDING SUPPORTS THE CONTINUED DEVELOPMENT OF THE OCEAN RESOURCES PROGRAM, WHICH FOCUSES ON STRENGTHENING THE PENOBSCOT NATIONS PARTICIPATION IN REGIONAL OCEAN PARTNERSHIPS, REESTABLISHING CULTURAL CONNECTIONS TO THE OCEAN, AND INCREASING TRIBAL CAPACITY FOR SUSTAINABLE MARINE RESOURCE MANAGEMENT. THROUGH THIS INITIATIVE, PIN DNR WILL EXPAND STAFFING TO INCLUDE AN OCEAN PLANNING COORDINATOR, FACILITATE ENGAGEMENT IN NORTHEAST REGIONAL OCEAN COUNCIL (NROC) MEETINGS AND INTERTRIBAL COLLABORATIONS, AND LEAD COMMUNITY OUTREACH EFFORTS TO ENSURE TRIBAL CITIZENS ARE ACTIVELY INVOLVED IN DECISION-MAKING PROCESSES RELATED TO OCEAN GOVERNANCE. WITH A STRONG EMPHASIS ON CLIMATE RESILIENCE AND OCEAN STEWARDSHIP, THIS PROJECT WILL INTEGRATE TRADITIONAL ECOLOGICAL KNOWLEDGE WITH SCIENTIFIC APPROACHES TO ADDRESS COASTAL HAZARDS, SUSTAINABLE ENERGY PLANNING, AND ECOSYSTEM HEALTH. KEY ACTIVITIES INCLUDE DEVELOPING GIS MAPS OF CULTURALLY SIGNIFICANT OCEAN SITES, INCREASING COORDINATION WITH WABANAKI TRIBES ON SHARED OCEAN PRIORITIES, AND PARTICIPATING IN FEDERAL, STATE, AND REGIONAL OCEAN MANAGEMENT DISCUSSIONS. PIN DNR WILL ALSO SERVE AS A LIAISON BETWEEN THE PENOBSCOT NATION AND EXTERNAL PARTNERS, ADVOCATING FOR TRIBAL INTERESTS IN MARINE PLANNING AND POLICY. BY STRENGTHENING PARTNERSHIPS AND ADVANCING A HOLISTIC APPROACH TO OCEAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT, THE PENOBSCOT NATION WILL CONTINUE TO PLAY A VITAL ROLE IN PRESERVING MARINE ECOSYSTEMS, MITIGATING CLIMATE IMPACTS, AND ENSURING THE SUSTAINABILITY OF OCEAN RESOURCES FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS.

PROJECT ABSTRACT SUMMARYPROJECT TITLE: CLIMATE ADAPTATION IN NORTHEASTERN FORESTS TO SUPPORT BIRDS OF CONSERVATION CONCERN AND ECOSYSTEM SERVICES PROJECT DATES: 10 1 2024 THROUGH 9 30 2026AWARD PURPOSE: CLIMATE CHANGE AND RELATED THREATS LIKE INVASIVE SPECIES AND DISEASES ARE IMPACTING THE FORESTS OF THE NORTHEAST AND THE BIRDS THAT LIVE AND BREED WITHIN THEM. ACROSS THE REGION, MANAGERS AT TRIBAL, FEDERAL, AND STATE NATURAL RESOURCE AGENCIES ARE GRAPPLING WITH HOW TO PROTECT HABITAT FOR FOREST-DEPENDENT BIRDS AND SUSTAIN OTHER KEY ECOSYSTEM SERVICES LIKE FOREST CARBON STORAGE IN THE FACE OF THESE ONGOING THREATS. IN RESPONSE, MEMBERS OF THIS RESEARCH TEAM, AMONG OTHERS, HAVE DEVISED CLIMATE CHANGE ADAPTATION RECOMMENDATIONS FOR FOREST AND WILDLIFE MANAGERS. NOW, ON-THE-GROUND EXPERIMENTS OF THESE RECOMMENDATIONS ARE UNDERWAY, WHICH WILL HELP SCIENTISTS AND MANAGERS ALIKE LEARN HOW WELL THESE ADAPTATION STRATEGIES WORK.THIS PROJECT WILL USE EXISTING AND NEWLY-COLLECTED DATA FROM ONGOING EXPERIMENTS TO EVALUATE HOW EFFECTIVE THESE STRATEGIES ARE AT SUSTAINING HABITAT FOR SONGBIRDS AND GROUSE, PRIORITY SPECIES THAT FEDERAL, STATE, AND TRIBAL PARTNERS SEEK TO PROTECT. THE PROJECT WILL THEN COMPARE THESE RESULTS WITH CARBON STORAGE METRICS FOR EACH SITE THAT WE WILL DERIVE FROM A FOREST GROWTH MODEL. THIS WILL ENABLE THE RECIPIENT TO EVALUATE POTENTIAL TRADE-OFFS AND WIN-WINS WITH REGARDS TO STEWARDING HABITAT AND MAXIMIZING CARBON STORAGE, WHICH THE RECIPIENTS PARTNERS HAVE HIGHLIGHTED AS A MANAGEMENT CONCERN. THE PROJECT WILL SYNTHESIZE FINDINGS FROM THESE ANALYSES TO CREATE A REFINED SET OF ADAPTATION RECOMMENDATIONS FOR MANAGERS, WHICH WILL BE SHARED THROUGH SITE-TAILORED GUIDANCE, A REGIONAL GUIDEBOOK, AND AN IN-PERSON LEARNING EXCHANGE, AMONG OTHER AVENUES. FINALLY, THIS PROJECT WILL BROADEN THE SCOPE TO EXPLORE HOW MUCH ADAPTATION IS NECESSARY TO MAINTAIN FOREST BIRD HABITAT. ACTIVITIES TO BE PERFORMED: THE PRIMARY ACTIVITIES FOR THIS PROJECT ARE: 1) FIELD-BASED EVALUATIONS OF FOREST-DEPENDENT BIRD RESPONSES TO, AND HABITAT OUTCOMES OF, CLIMATE-ADAPTIVE SILVICULTURE 2) QUANTIFICATION OF NEAR- AND LONGER-TERM CARBON DYNAMICS ASSOCIATED WITH CLIMATE-ADAPTIVE SILVICULTURE, AND IDENTIFICATION OF BOTH TRADE-OFFS AND SYNERGIES WITH HABITAT OUTCOMES AND 3) EVALUATION OF FUNCTIONAL DIVERSITY AND CONNECTIVITY OF FOREST-DEPENDENT BIRD HABITAT UNDER REGIONAL CLIMATE ADAPTATION SCENARIOS.DELIVERABLES AND EXPECTED OUTCOMES: DELIVERABLES AND EXPECTED OUTCOMES INCLUDE 1) SITE-TAILORED GUIDANCE ON CLIMATE ADAPTIVE STRATEGIES FOR SUSTAINING FOCAL SPECIES AT FORESTS MANAGED BY THE PENOBSCOT NATION, US FISH AND WILDLIFE SERVICE, NH FISH AND GAME, AND VERMONT FOREST, PARKS AND RECREATION 2) A DIGITAL PRACTITIONER GUIDEBOOK ON BEST ADAPTATION PRACTICES FOR USFWS, TRIBAL, AND STATE RESOURCE MANAGERS, AND 3) SEVERAL WEBINARS AND AN IN-PERSON LEARNING EXCHANGE AT THE SILVIO O. CONTE NATIONAL WILDLIFE REFUGE ON CLIMATE-ADAPTIVE STRATEGIES FOR FOCAL WILDLIFE SPECIES.INTENDED BENEFICIARY(IES): US FISH AND WILDLIFE SERVICE, PENOBSCOT NATION, NH FISH AND GAME, VT FORESTS, PARKS AND RECREATION, VT FISH AND WILDLIFE, US FOREST SERVICE, NH FORESTS AND LANDS, MAINE INLAND FISHERIES AND WILDLIFESUBRECIPIENT ACTIVITIES: THE UNIVERSITY OF MASSACHUSETTS WILL SUBAWARD TO THE UNIVERSITY OF VERMONT TO EXECUTE THE RESEARCH OBJECTIVES OF THIS PROJECT.

IN 2022 THERE WERE 14 CONFIRMED AND SUSPECTED FATAL OVERDOSES OF NATIVE AMERICANS IN MAINE, A FATALITY RATE MORE THAN TWICE THAT OF OTHER RACIAL GROUPS. PENOBSCOT COUNTY, WHERE THE RESERVATION IS LOCATED, HAS SEEN OVERDOSE FATALITIES PER 100,000 NEARLY DOUBLE FROM 2019 (34.8) TO 2020 (62.0) (MAINE SHARED COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT (CHNA) 2022). WHILE THE PUBLIC INTEREST IN THE OPIOID CRISIS SEEMS TO HAVE DECREASED, THE NUMBER OF OPIOID FATALITIES AND OPIOID-RELATED EMERGENCY VISITS CONTINUE TO RISE. THE NATIONS PENOBSCOT NATION HEALTH DEPARTMENTS (PNHD) OPIOID TREATMENT PROGRAM (ALSO KNOWN AS THE SUBOXONE PROGRAM), HAS NEARLY 100 PATIENTS PARTICIPATING AND ARE ENROLLING NEW PATIENTS REGULARLY. GOAL 1: TO BREAK THE CYCLE OF CRIMINAL BEHAVIOR, ALCOHOL AND/OR DRUG USE, INCARCERATION, OTHER PENALTIES, AND FAMILY AND COMMUNITY BREAKDOWN, BY EXPANDING SUBSTANCE USE DISORDER TREATMENT, CASE MANAGEMENT AND WRAPAROUND RECOVERY SERVICES AVAILABLE TO NATIVE AMERICANS THROUGH THE HTWC.
