From: "Barb Zoodsma" <Barb.Zoodsma@noaa.gov> The Department of Commerce, NOAA, issued a solicitation on August 26, 2005, for a contract to conduct right whale aerial surveys along the United States' Southeast Coast (Georgia/Florida coastline). The primary objective of this work is to locate right whales on their winter calving grounds and to report those locations in near-real time to mariners operating commercial, military, and other vessels in these areas so they may take actions to reduce the likelihood of collisions with right whales. Surveys will be flown from December 1, 2005, until March 31, 2006. The deadline for submitting proposals is September 26, 2005. The requirement was advertised in the FedBizOpps on June 7, 2005. For additional information or to receive a copy of the solicitation, please contact Jackie Shewmaker at (816)426-7462 or Jacquelyn.A.Shewmaker@noaa.gov.
