The NOAA Marine Debris Program offers this grant to support community-based projects focused on marine debris prevention, assessment, and removal. This initiative aims to enhance coastal habitats, waterways, and NOAA trust resources by funding on-the-ground restoration efforts, particularly the removal of marine debris, including derelict fishing gear. Projects are expected to deliver significant ecological improvements and offer social benefits to local communities. Administered through a cooperative agreement, this funding strengthens habitat restoration and raises awareness about marine debris impacts, contributing to the conservation of living marine resource habitats and furthering understanding of debris types. Up to $2,000,000 is available, with typical awards ranging from $15,000 to $150,000.

| 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 restoration components involving the removal of marine debris, including derelict fishing gear. Projects also provide social benefits for people and their communities, and create 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, as well as contribute to the understanding of debris types and impacts. 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 FY2013. Typical awards will range from $15,000 to $150,000. |
