AUGUST 24, 2015--The week of August 17, 2015, the NOAA Marine Debris Program published a federal funding opportunity to Grants.gov. This opportunity provides funding to support locally-driven, marine debris prevention, assessment, and removal projects that will benefit coastal habitat, waterways, and NOAA trust resources. Projects awarded through this grant competition implement on-the-ground marine debris removal activities, with priority for those targeting medium to large-scale debris, including derelict fishing gear. Through this solicitation, NOAA fosters awareness of the effects of marine debris to further the conservation of living marine resource habitats, and contributes to the understanding of marine debris composition, distribution and impacts.

The due date for proposals is November 2, 2015.
