The solicitation document and incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular No. 97-25. NOAA'S, Northwest Fisheries Science Center (NWFSC) Montlake, as a component of the Ecosystem Management Program is developing a fish tracking and habitat utilization laboratory. This laboratory will take the form of a volume of water (5x106m3) in which fish, tagged with acoustic transmitters, will have their movements monitored with high spatial and temporal resolution. The movements of the fish, in the context of both fish-environment and fish-fish interactions, will serve as key inputs to decisions regarding the spatial characteristics of potential Marine Reserves or Marine Protected Areas (MPA'S).
