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 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 Removal Project Grants in FY 2010. The
NOAA MDP anticipates that typical
