The NOAA Marine Debris Program is offering grants to support locally-driven projects focused on marine debris prevention, assessment, and removal to benefit coastal habitat, waterways, and NOAA trust resources. With funding of up to $2,000,000 available, projects targeting derelict fishing gear and other medium- and large-scale debris are given priority. Emphasis is placed on creating long-term ecological habitat improvements, raising awareness about marine debris impacts, and enhancing understanding of debris composition and distribution. Grant awards typically range from $50,000 to $150,000. Proposals are expected to contribute to the conservation of living marine resource habitats and will be funded through cooperative agreements. Application deadline is Oct 29, 2018.

| Description: | The NOAA Marine Debris Program, authorized in the Marine Debris Act, codified at 33 U.S.C. 1951-1958, supports the development and implementation of locally-driven, marine debris prevention, assessment, and removal projects that benefit coastal habitat, waterways, and NOAA trust resources. Projects awarded through this grant competition will create long-term, quantifiable ecological habitat improvements for NOAA trust resources through on-the-ground marine debris removal activities, with priority for those targeting derelict fishing gear and other medium- and large-scale debris. Projects should also foster awareness of the effects of marine debris to further the conservation of living marine resource habitats, and contribute to the understanding of marine debris composition, distribution and impacts. Successful proposals through this solicitation will be funded through cooperative agreements. Funding of up to $2,000,000 is expected to be available for Marine Debris Removal grants in Fiscal Year 2019. Typical awards will range from $50,000 to $150,000.
