The U.S. EPA Region 9 is offering this grant to restore and protect coastal water quality and habitat by reducing land-based marine debris. This grant is for the purpose of funding innovative source reduction practices, emphasizing true prevention rather than common capture or removal methods. Proposals should demonstrate source reduction’s economic benefits to business and government, inspire new local litter prevention policies, and foster collaborative partnerships between local government, non-profits, and businesses. Projects supporting recycling, clean-up, trash capture, plastic bans, or disposal activities will not be considered.

| Description: | The U.S. EPA Region 9 seeks proposals for projects that restore and protect water quality and habitat of coastal waters, estuaries, bays, near shore, and ocean waters through innovative and comprehensive approaches to reducing land-based sources of marine debris. The goal is to reduce marine debris from coastal watersheds with true source reduction practices, not with the more commonly used capture and removal practices such as inserting catch basin screens and enhancing street sweeping. Proposals should demonstrate and promote the economic benefits of source reduction to business and government, inspire innovative local policies promoting litter prevention, and foster creative collaborative partnerships between local government, non-profits, and business. Proposals that principally support recycling, clean-up, treatment, trash capture/removal, plastic bag and/or polystyrene bans, or disposal activities will not be considered for funding. |
