The NOAA Marine Debris Program offers grants to support community-based projects for marine debris prevention, assessment, and removal to enhance coastal habitat and waterways. These grants focus on activities benefiting both the environment and communities through the removal of marine debris and derelict fishing gear. Projects also promote habitat restoration and raise awareness of the impact of marine debris on marine resources. Funding of up to $2,000,000 is available, with awards typically ranging from $15,000 to $150,000. Proposals selected will be implemented through a cooperative agreement. Applications are accepted until October 31, 2008.

| Description: | The NOAA Marine Debris Program (MDP), 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. Projects funded through the MDP 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 the MDP identifies marine debris prevention, assessment and removal projects, strengthens the development and implementation of habitat restoration through the removal of marine debris within communities, and fosters awareness of the effects of marine debris to further the conservation of living marine resource habitats across a wide geographic area. Proposals selected for funding through this solicitation will be implemented through a cooperative agreement. Funding of up to $2,000,000 is expected to be available for Community-based Marine Debris Prevention and Removal Project Grants in FY 2009. The NOAA MDP anticipates that typical awards will range from $15,000 to $150,000. |
