archived

The purpose of this Agreement is the design and implementation of a bat survey on behalf of Naval Weapon Station (NWS) Seal Beach Detachment Fallbrook (Detachment Fallbrook) in Fallbrook, California. The work shall use scientifically accepted techniques designed to locate and identify species of bats that reside seasonally or permanently on the base and shall be designed and conducted in accordance with intentions of the MOU between the Department of Defense and Bat Conservation International signed in October 2006. Results from the bat surveys and data analysis shall provide details of bat activity on base including species richness, location of roosts, important foraging areas, population estimates, and suggested management practices designed to maintain and enhance the quality of habitats for bats using the base and reduced conflicts with mission activities. Additionally, the bat survey will assess areas where mission activities and bats may interface and recommend solutions that balance mission requirements with bat conservation and stewardship.
