Bipartisan Infrastructure Law Grant Opportunity for Marine Debris Removal

From the NOAA Marine Debris Program (posted 06/29/2022) Blog online https://blog.marinedebris.noaa.gov/now-open-bipartisan-infrastructure-law-grant-opportunity-marine-debris-removal.

NOAA’s Marine Debris Program has opened their Fiscal Year 2022 NOAA Marine Debris Removal granting opportunity with awards of $56 million to fund projects that remove marine debris to benefit marine and Great Lakes habitats and communities.  This grant opportunity will focus on two priorities:

  • Removing large marine debris, and 
  • Using proven interception technologies to capture marine debris for coastal United States, Great Lakes, territories, and Freely Associated States. Many of our members have added marine debris removal as part of their corporate portfolios.  The Marine Debris granting program can potentially provide our members with additional funding / resources under their marine debris removal services.

The deadline for proposals on Grants.gov has been extended to October 5, 2022, 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time.  An applicant webinar providing an overview of the competition details and tips for submitting applications is now available. These materials include the webinar recording, slides, and frequently asked questions.  Additional applicant guidance documents created specifically for this competition are also available.

For more information on this grant opportunity and details on their granting priorities, please visit the NOAA Marine Debris Program’s website and Grants.gov.
