Agency Name
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
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.
