The NOAA Marine Debris Program offers this grant to fund community-based projects for marine debris prevention and removal. This grant aims to benefit coastal habitats, waterways, and NOAA trust resources, while also providing social benefits. Projects must include significant on-the-ground removal of marine debris and derelict fishing gear for long-term ecological improvement. The initiative strengthens habitat restoration through community engagement and fosters awareness of marine debris impacts. Successful proposals, funded via cooperative agreements, typically receive $15,000 to $150,000, with up to $2,000,000 available for FY2012.

| Description: | The NOAA Marine Debris Program, authorized in the Marine Debris Research, Prevention, and Reduction Act (MDRPR Act, 33 U.S.C. 1951 et seq.), provides funding to catalyze the implementation of locally driven, community-based marine debris prevention, assessment, and removal projects that will benefit coastal habitat, waterways, and NOAA trust resources. Funding for this purpose comes through the NOAA Marine Debris Program as appropriations to the Office of Response and Restoration, National Ocean Service. The funding is, in part, administered through a grant competition with the NOAA Restoration Center’s Community-based Restoration Program. Projects awarded through this grant competition have strong on-the-ground habitat components involving the removal of marine debris and derelict fishing gear, as well as activities that provide social benefits for people and their communities in addition to long-term ecological habitat improvements for NOAA trust resources. Through this solicitation NOAA identifies marine debris removal projects, strengthens the development and implementation of habitat restoration through community-based marine debris removal, and fosters awareness of the effects of marine debris to further the conservation of living marine resource habitats. Successful proposals through this solicitation will be funded through a cooperative agreement. Funding of up to $2,000,000 is expected to be available for Community-based Marine Debris Removal Project Grants in FY2012. Typical awards will range from $15,000 to $150,000 |
