These projects will remove and dispose of marine debris, include important community-focused education and outreach activities, and provide tangible benefits to coastal and marine habitats, communities, and economies across Alaska.

Funding for these opportunities was provided through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, a transformational opportunity to make an impact against the climate crisis across the country. This initiative includes the prevention, mitigation, and removal of marine debris from coastal communities and marine ecosystems.
